DASA- seeking novel Hybrid Propulsion /Electrification Innovations for the Navy

Hybridisation of the Naval Fleet

On behalf of the (MOD) Naval Ships Support Central Engineering Team, the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is looking for innovations in hybrid powertrain technologies that could power naval vessels. The purpose is to gain an understanding of what is currently available in the market regarding hybrid powertrains for ships, that meets the capability requirements of Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S). We are interested in current or soon to be introduced Hybrid Powertrain potential solutions for use on RN and Auxiliary vessels in order to achieve a 20-40% emissions reduction by 2030. Potential solutions are sought around electrification (AC as well as DC) and electrical storage.

We are seeking :

• Ideas at (TRLs) 5-9, for implementation into service by 2030.
• potential solutions which could be adaptable for retrofitted to existing and future platforms.

If you have an idea which could align with this requirement, please:

• read the full Market Exploration details here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hybridisation-of-the-naval-fleet
• register with DASA’s online portal, and submit a short online form with your details and a summary of the idea here by midday 27th Jan 2022 https://accelerator-community.force.com/s/
