An actively-cooled heat shield system includes a heat shield, a tank, a pump, a heat exchanger, and a turbine. The heat shield defines a windward side of a vehicle. The tank stores a coolant. The pump receives the coolant from the tank and outputs a pressurized coolant. The heat exchanger is integrally connected with the heat shield. The heat exchanger receives the pressurized coolant from the pump, transfers heat from the heat shield to the pressurized coolant to generate a heated fluid, and outputs the heated fluid. The turbine includes an inlet, a shaft, and an outlet. The inlet receives the heated fluid output from the heat exchanger. The shaft is coupled to the pump and includes turbine blades. The shaft rotates and powers the pump when the heated fluid received from the heat exchanger acts on the turbine blades. The outlet outputs the heated fluid.
