HyperPOWER

Hypervelocity Vehicle Controller

Hypervelocity vehicles require high-density control systems optimized for size, weight, and power. Moog offers the HyperPOWER controller, which tightly couples actuation and propulsion control, power management, sensor conditioning, and battery activation into a single package. Compared to a classic federated vehicle approach consisting of multiple separate units, a control system based on HyperPOWER provides 25% volume savings and reduced interconnects. HyperPOWER’s roadmap includes a tactical variant, a space radiation-hardened variant, options to host a flight computer package, and Moog can modify the design for application specific environments and communication protocols.

Literature

HyperPOWER integrates actuation, propulsion, and power system control into a single package, yielding increased system performance and savings in volume and latency.
A control system based on HyperPOWER offers a single solution to control many aspects of a hypervelocity vehicle, also resulting in reduced programmatic and schedule cost and risk.
HyperPOWER includes provisions to incorporate a flight computer for navigation, guidance, attitude, and motion control loops.
A robust roadmap drives gated maturation based on relevant testing with HWIL integration and through flight testing.
This next generation control system enables increased lethality and range in deployed weapons systems due to reduced weight, power, and volume (25% or greater reduction possible.)
