Motion control, power and electronic technologies that improve operational readiness and reliability — even in demanding conditions.
Our servicemen and women rely on field-proven yet adaptable technology to stay safe and improve mission effectiveness. To this end, we design powered systems that play a crucial role in modernizing our military, leveraging our technical expertise in motor design, motion control, actuation and ruggedized electronics to engineer reliable, field-ready military sub-systems — including munition feed, power generation and elevation control systems.
These advanced solutions deliver unmatched precision, speed, efficiency and reliability in the harshest environments — all while meeting the stringent operational requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), branches of the U.S. military, and ground, air and naval forces.
Defense Technologies
We engineer high-precision motion control technologies for applications like the AN/TPQ radar system, which provides 360-degree protection against indirect fire. Our technical expertise has ensured the successful operation of this system, whose technical requirements include quick, yet accurate vehicle leveling, platform elevation, rotational capabilities and azimuth positioning.
We also design power management solutions that meet MIL-SPEC requirements, ensuring the functionality and interoperability of military equipment across operational environments. We address critical design aspects, including voltage characteristics, transient voltage protection, electromagnetic compatibility and testing, assuring military systems can withstand the electromagnetic and electrical challenges they face in rugged and extreme environments.
Our technical capabilities also include:
- Highly efficient propulsion systems for unmanned vehicles.
- Battery management systems for land, air or marine applications.
- Radiation-hardened fan drive-controllers for missile silo ventilation systems.
- Ruggedized electronic systems that meet demanding operating requirements.
- Custom azimuth and elevation solutions for large-scale launch platforms used in fire control.
- Precision, heavy-duty azimuth and elevation solutions for counterfire radar systems and other detection platforms.
Systems Engineering and Project Management
To meet the demands of 21st-century warfare while increasing mission success rates, we use a systems engineering approach to design and develop defense technologies. Our expertise includes high-performance motors, power management, generation and storage systems, controllers, linear drives, system assemblies, servo drives and more. Our expertise in these areas ensures the reliability and adaptability of powered systems, fully integrating them with mission objectives to improve mission effectiveness and mitigate risk.
From concept to execution, we also ensure all aspects of a project are meticulously organized. We provide strategic planning and oversight, ensuring projects are delivered on time and under budget. For over 30 years, we have supported the successful efforts of prime contractor manufacturers.
