Abstract: An electrical power generation system for a directed energy weapon includes a fuel pump configured to disperse a liquid fuel. Also included is an oxidizer pump configured to disperse a liquid oxidant. Further included is a combustor fluidly coupled to the fuel pump and the oxidizer pump to receive the liquid fuel and the liquid oxidant for combustion therein to form a combustion mixture. Yet further included is a turbine fluidly coupled to the combustor to receive the combustion mixture to generate mechanical energy. Also included is a generator operatively coupled to a rotor shaft of the turbine to convert the mechanical energy to electrical power for the directed energy weapon.
