L3Harris Technologies has completed successful testing of a new power plant system for the Stored Chemical Energy Propulsion System (SCEPS), designed to propel the U.S. Navy’s MK 54 MOD 2 Increment 2 Advanced Lightweight Torpedo. The results validate the functionality and performance of the power plant, paving the way for design verification testing of the fully integrated system later this year.
