                        HON. ROSCOE G. BARTLETT

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 16, 2009

  Mr. BARTLETT. Madam Speaker, I submit the following: Funding of 
$2,000,000 is necessary to continue the development of a power dense 
Integrated Power System (IPS) and Hybrid Electric Drive (HED) 
technologies suitable for surface combatant and submarine propulsion, 
enhanced power generation and power conversion. Power dense electric 
machines and power conversion solutions enable hybrid propulsion 
systems that save fuel and provide increased critical power for 
additional payload capabilities. These developments allow an advanced 
IPS or HED system to be incorporated in future and existing warships, 
including the re-started DDG51 line, DDG512 Modification, Ohio 
Replacement, and a future CG(X).
