A cruise missile requires a lot of electric power due to the long flight duration. The energy density of a battery which is generally used in an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is very low when compared to the energy density of fossil fuels. However, fossil fuels cannot be used directly to become electricity. In response to this problem, an on-board generator was designed to meet the electricity needs of cruise missiles. This on-board generator is a generator system that utilizes a jet turbine to generate electrical energy. In this on-board generator, there are several subsystems, namely: generator, rectifier, converter, control, and data transfer. The topic of discussion in this article is the generator sub system that functions as the main electricity generator for the cruise missile on-board generator, the rectifier to convert the AC power output from the generator to DC electricity, the converter subsystem to regulate the voltage so that it is at the required voltage, and sensing subsystem which is part of the control to measure the input voltage, output voltage, and output current. The test results show that the generator can produce 3-phase electricity but it is still not in accordance with its ideal rating, the rectifier can perform the rectification process properly, the converter subsystem the results have not reached the 28 volt set point due to the absence of a control system in place, the sensor current has an error range from 0.02 A to 0,1 A. On the voltage sensor, it can be seen from the sensor data that it has an error range from 0,01 to 0,12 volt.
