Investigation of the unmanned vehicle hybrid propulsion system

Investigation scheme of the unmanned vehicle is shown in the paper. It is the unmanned vehicle planned to use in military application. Using the unmanned vehicles on modern war field is increasingly popular. The unmanned vehicle is powered with a hybrid propulsion system. The main source of energy is diesel engine and electric generator. It supplies the battery and six propulsion electric motors. In the propulsion system is a lot of components: controllers and electric devices. Is important to know how it works in load condition. Investigation stand was constructed to break all drive wheels. There will be done measuring of electric parameters of the hybrid propulsion system. Temperature of the battery and electric motors, fuel consumption of internal combustion engine needed to appreciate of load and energy balance will be measured as well. Investigation equipment which will be used during investigation is also performed in the paper.
