Evans Hybrid® Capacitors
To Be on USN E-2D Advanced Hawkeye
In a new contract with Northrup Grumman, Evans THS3 Hybrid® Capacitors will power radars on the new Navy E-2D Advanced Hawkeye airplane.
The E-2D delivers battle management information and performs air traffic control in aircraft carrier battle groups, according to Northrup Grumman.
The THS3 Hybrids are almost square, saving significant space when packed together in the Hawkeyes’ radar. These high energy density supercapacitors are designed and manufactured in the Evans facility in East Providence, RI.
The THS contract is one of several now in effect with Tier 1 defense contractors, said David Evans, president of Evans Capacitor Company.
Evans Capacitor Company manufactures hermetically-sealed tantalum electrochemical and electrolytic/electrochemical capacitors used in aviation and aerospace for laser targeting, communications modules, controls, cockpit displays, phased array radars, fire control and other systems. Evans Capacitor Hybrids produce up to 2 joules/cc. and 0.5 joules/g. They are used by virtually every Tier 1 defense and aerospace contractor.
