      abstract = {Future warship design will need to negotiate several  emerging hurdles with regards to performance, complexity,  capability, and resilience while balancing cost of  ownership and environmental sustainability. Over the past  two decades, most new warship programmes have fielded  multi-role capability, but with rapid advancements in  mission systems technology the platform systems selected  need to be more adaptable now than ever to enable through  life technology insertion throughout a service life of up  to 50 years. To facilitate this, capital warships have and  will continue to become increasingly electric, with deeper  integration of ship and mission systems.
While the  electrification of modern-era warships has been commonplace  since the early 1990s, in-service experiences on first  generation Integrated Full Electric Propulsion (IFEP) or  Integrated Power Systems (IPS) must be considered alongside  user requirements for a new programme. The RN Type 45  destroyer, Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) carrier and the USN  DDG-1000 destroyer programmes have yielded some interesting  learning opportunities in several areas.
This paper will  provide an insight into some of the learning points in the  development of the power plants for these first-generation  electric warships. It will then provide an insight into  enabling approaches, techniques and technologies - and will  specifically consider power management, prime mover type  and size and associated impact on power system  architecture, platform design and operability including  resilience, efficiency and emissions. Some of these will  provide opportunities for the discerning system designer  and naval architect that were previously unavailable, and  if leveraged, will ensure optimal designs giving enhanced  performance and functionality in the second generation  whilst simultaneously driving down platform costs and  emissions.},
