Control Systems Case Study
We engineer controls for: power generation systems, fuel reformers and fuel cells, power converters, hybrid power systems, and all-around internal test equipment.

Control systems that meet the challenge
The Dewey Electronics engineers continually design and develop control system improvements to ensure our equipment performs on today’s challenging battlefields, including extreme temperature environments. We’ve manufactured large-scale applications such as mountain-wide snowmaking systems that operate in severe winter weather, and miniaturized controls for fuel cell reformers operating in high temperature environments.
Our generator controllers, from analog systems to fully digital controllers, deliver optimal performance, thanks to battery monitoring and charging, remote monitoring and controlling, auto start, and data logging and diagnostics.
Analog control systems
- Analog computers (Navy speed and distance indicator)
- MEP-501A and MEP-531A generator controllers
- Mk 48 battery charging modules
Digital control systems
- Generator micro-controllers
- Battery monitoring and charging systems
- Fuel cell reformer control systems
- Microgrid controllers
Controls for power systems featuring:
- Inverters

Low Rate Initial Manufacturing Case Study
The first step in manufacturing is taking designs from prototype stage through low rate initial production (LRIP) before going into full production cycles.

Dewey’s production capabilities include:
- Welding
- Electro-mechanical assembly
- Automated factory acceptance testing
- Hot room test facilities
- Reliability and endurance testing
