... it does not consider the power ant} highpower switching requirements of specific weapon or defense systems. Existing switching technologies can meet the electrical demands of CHPS, but there are challenges related to increasing converter power density, clecoupling of pulse loads, and developing more fault-tolerant architectures as weapon and defense systems are added.
