Spanish Navy BHC vessels to use ABB DC-grid electric propulsion with batteries

ABB will supply Navantia with a DC-based onboard power distribution and propulsion suite (Onboard DC Grid + PEMS, thruster motors, and batteries) for two new Spanish Navy coastal hydrographic vessels. While not a frontline combat tactic, it reflects continued naval electrification and integrated energy-management adoption that can improve endurance, efficiency, and power availability for sensors/mission systems in demanding maritime operations.
