One of the most important issues confronting contemporary IFVs—increasing power demands—was addressed with the development of improved power management systems. From weapon stations to communication gear, these systems effectively allocate electrical power between several subsystems, hence optimizing fuel use. Using hybrid technology, modern power management systems let cars run silently in electric mode for maximum stealth capability. This invention has greatly expanded operational range and lessened the fuel consumption-related logistical load.
