Gresham supplies power systems for Hobart AWD

Gresham Power Electronics

DC power distribution systems/rectifiers

Gresham Power Electronics has been awarded a contract by the Australian Navy to supply helicopter starting rectifiers and DC power distribution systems for the Hobart Class Air Warfare Destroyer.

The destroyer is to be built by the Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) Alliance.

The Hobart AWD is based on the existing F100 frigate platform designed by Navantia and already in service with the Spanish Navy.

It is a baseline design that required minimal modifications for Australian use and employs power systems provided by Gresham.

The scope of supply from Gresham Power follows in part systems previously supplied to Navantia in Spain in support of its F-100 programme.

There are a number of additional requirements and up-rating to cope with some differences in the application.
