Pulsed Power

Construction and Initial Testing


Raytheon Ktech is an integral partner with Sandia National Laboratories, involved in design, engineering, and construction of every major pulsed power facility located at Sandia. Most recently, we worked with Sandia to upgrade and refurbish the Z Machine, intended to modernize 20-year-old equipment and provide an increased level of current deliverable to an experiment. We dismantled the old hardware and built the new components, and installed them into the existing machine architecture. From initial start up testing to continued operations of the facility, we integrate solutions that allow Sandia to operate more effectively.

We can engineer, design, and deliver pulsed power components including Marx Generators, Trigger Generators, switches, and fully integrated pulsed power systems, enabling our customers to reduce costs and streamline operations.
