      abstract = {In the future warship power and propulsion systems need to  be designed for increased flexibility, in part to sustain  the demand of changing load profiles such as those  characterised by high ramp-rates of new weapons and sensors  intended to support enhanced future warfighting capability.  Lithium-ion based battery performance is improving at a  prominent pace in the automotive sector, increasing in both  energy and power density, thus there is now an opportunity  to exploit these characteristics for naval power systems. A  common use energy storage system could facilitate benefits  such as reduced fuel burn and prime mover running hours by  reducing the number of running generator sets. Importantly,  the improvement in battery systems, has reached a juncture  where the technology could be considered to support  directed energy weapons. The feasibility of a Lithium-ion  NMC based energy storage system, capable of high discharge  rates, to power predicted laser directed energy weapons  using time domain simulation is investigated in this paper.  Results verify that the simulated system is capable of high  rates of fire for extended periods subject to state of  charge operating limitations.},
