Thanks to the increased reliability and performance of power electronics, their use in military areas is very common. Through the developing technology, military land vehicles can have many equipment rather than just a replenishment and military transport duty. For safety and confidentiality, it is not possible to supply the energy of these equipments with the 28 V lead-acid batteries on the military vehicle during the silent watch (when the vehicle is stationary). In this study, electrical power backup and battery charge circuit has been designed and applied for military land vehicles for this purpose. When providing power to devices and charging the battery in the vehicle, it is important to ensure that the circuit is stable, robust and accordance with military standards. The output voltage of this power circuit is controlled by the use of robust control and nonlinear voltage control methods and this method brings innovation in this field. In this study, voltage surges in power circuit output due to sudden load changes are minimized by the proposed voltage control method. Thus, the conformity of the power circuit to the MIL-STD-1275-E voltage surges standard, which is one of the military standards, is provided by experimental results.
