SBX Radar Pump System for the U.S. Department of Defense
Challenge: The SBX Radar platform required a high-pressure cooling water pump system with improved reliability. The project faced a tight 6-8 week timeline and complex logistics involving multiple stakeholders, including Boeing and the Department of Defense (DOD).
Solution: I led the development and integration of a new pump control solution using Ultra Low Harmonic Drives. The solution needed to comply with marine certifications and ensure compatibility with the ship’s controls system.
Results:
- Delivered and commissioned the system on time for the DOD’s test dates.
- Improved system reliability from 4-6 weeks to over 2 years.
- Reduced energy consumption by 50% and cut maintenance costs by over $500K annually.
- Received recognition from the DOD, Boeing, and Glosten Engineering, and earned a nomination for ITT’s President’s Award.
Key Achievement: This success led to $5MM in new business and established ITT as a preferred provider for similar projects.
