Control Solutions for Mission-Ready Military Marine Systems  

Naval, coast-guard, and government-service vessels require propulsion and power systems that perform reliably throughout demanding missions and long platform lives.

Woodward supports combatants, patrol craft, submarines, amphibious vessels, auxiliaries, logistics ships, rescue vessels, and unmanned platforms with qualified controls, fuel systems, actuation, valves, turbine protection, and power management technologies.

Our solutions help shipbuilders, system integrators, and fleet operators support mission availability, redundancy, power quality, maintainability, and long-term equipment support.

Engine and Fuel Systems 

Woodward engine controls, fuel injection, pumps, valves, and actuation technologies support propulsion engines and generator sets where durability, response, and maintainability are essential.

The solutions help manage starting, speed, load response, fuel delivery, and protective functions across a range of vessel sizes and operating profiles. They can support high-utilization patrol missions as well as platforms requiring extended endurance and dependable auxiliary power. 

Turbine Controls and Protection  

Woodward turbine controls, actuators, fuel and steam valves, and overspeed protection technologies support gas and steam turbine systems used for propulsion and electrical generation.

They help manage starting, acceleration, speed and load control, and protective functions in applications requiring high power density and dependable response. Solutions can support new programs, qualified upgrades, and lifecycle sustainment of installed naval turbine systems. 

Integrated Power Management 

Woodward generator controls and power management products help coordinate propulsion auxiliaries, mission systems, sensors, communications, hotel loads, breakers, and multiple generator sets.

Functions can include synchronization, protection, load sharing, prioritized load shedding, blackout recovery, and islanded operation. These capabilities support stable power as onboard electrical demand increases and fleets adopt integrated electric propulsion, energy storage, and more-electric mission systems.
