Functional even under extreme conditions

Lightweight components for military applications made from carbon composite materials offer numerous advantages. Carbon engineering enables the precise development and production of such components – particularly due to their combination of low weight, high strength and excellent resistance.

Advantages:

Weight reduction: Carbon composite materials are significantly lighter than traditional materials such as steel or aluminum. This leads to a reduction in the overall weight of vehicles, aircraft or equipment, which in turn improves mobility and efficiency.

High strength: Despite their low weight, carbon composite materials offer high structural integrity and strength, which is crucial for applications that require high loads and stresses.

Corrosion resistance: Carbon composite materials are resistant to corrosion, which extends their service life and reduces maintenance costs, especially in aggressive environments.

Design flexibility: These materials can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing for greater design freedom. As a result, components can be adapted specifically to the needs of the application.

Modifications of military construction vehicles

To customize special vehicles for the army, we have to overcome complex challenges so that soldiers can perform their tasks more safely and comfortably. We put together a perfectly customized package for you.

We only use parts and components approved for military use – from power generators and unique lighting systems to interior fittings that offer protection against ballistic threats if required.

Ballistic and self-healing protective structure

Mobile defensive structures for the protection of military units for various deployment scenarios can be set up quickly and offer reliable and durable ballistic protection. The structural components are easy to transport and practical to assemble as they are lightweight.

Thanks to a multiphase material structure, which contains a defined sequence of soft and hard components, the impact energy is optimally distributed by structurally acting failure mechanisms, which prevents puncture.

Platforms and launcher system

The material advantages described above enable the production of large launcher and bogie systems, as well as platforms: The weight reduction through lightweight carbon components enables faster acceleration, greater agility, higher precision, shorter braking distances and significant savings in fuel costs.

We have acquired an enormous amount of knowledge in this area over the last 10 years. Lightweight construction using customized composite materials sets new standards for modern turret systems, weapon platforms and launcher systems. Where conventional welded constructions or cast materials reach their static and dynamic limits, the lightweight material carbon is used.

Floating body

CFRP in combination with polyurethane foam or epoxy foam enables the production of extremely lightweight floats . This makes it possible for emergency crews to assemble and disassemble these floats on military vehicles by hand in just a few minutes.

This allows for extremely fast watering. The floats can be removed just as quickly during the subsequent landing operation. As these floats are not hollow bodies, it is also easier to compensate for the ingress of foreign bodies, for example from bullets. The buoyancy of the vehicle is therefore hardly impaired. In this way, military vehicles become amphibious vehicles and enable combat troops to cross water quickly and safely. Mobile equipment such as power generators, containers or housings for communication systems can also be designed to be buoyant.

Military infrastructure

Worldwide operations and a wide variety of scenarios require flexible components for military infrastructure. Water tanks, cisterns, fuel tanks and mast systems are just a few examples of applications that are preferably made from lightweight materials.

Our core competencies include specialist knowledge of lightweight components and the ability to carry out on-site repairs or services in highly sensitive areas. The refurbishment of containers or components made of any plastic or fiber composite material is carried out using vacuum infusion lamination, bonding or welding, depending on the type of damage. Mobile RIM systems can also be used to restore or protect insulation or oxidizing metal structures (e.g. pipes).

Military equipment

Difficult, confusing terrain as well as extreme climatic conditions demand everything from emergency forces. Weight-saving material solutions in the equipment of the emergency services can significantly increase the mobility and performance of soldiers.

Vision systems, radios, rucksacks or entrenching equipment are examples of the equipment that a soldier carries with him. The use of lightweight components for this equipment makes it possible to reduce the weight to be transported and thus ensures less physical strain on the soldier.

Mobile structures and enclosures (racks)

The success of a mission largely depends on communication. The modern information technology used by land forces is becoming increasingly digitalized. As a result, the amount of mobile equipment is also increasing, which also means an increase in load-bearing weight.

Racks, enclosures and transport boxes made of carbon make mobility much easier and provide the right protection. Carbon also enables a high level of shielding performance to be achieved over a wide frequency range. The ultimate combination of strength, weight and shielding protection is therefore only possible with carbon fiber composite solutions.
