MSU joins all-electric ship research

The Center for Advanced Power Systems at Florida State University was awarded a five-year $35 million grant by the Office of Naval Research to bring researchers together to spur innovation and advance the Navy’s efforts to build an all-electric ship. CAPS will lead a multi-university team of scientists and engineers – including Mississippi State University - to work on various energy and machinery requirements of the ship. In April, CAPS became the first university test site accredited by the Navy to perform high-powered simulations for development of the next-generation of shipboard power technology.
