a high-power energy & cooling testbed.

There is an increasing demand to equip military vehicles and installations with high-power systems such as lasers, requiring a high-capacity energy supply. This inevitably involves the generation of heat, requiring reliable cooling to safeguard their continued operation. We combine our knowledge of energy systems and cooling technology to develop integral solutions.
Electrification is the name of the game in the military world. Personnel, vehicles and installations are increasingly equipped with electric devices and systems for operational tasks and communications. As a result, electric power supply and cooling needs are increasing. This is especially true for advanced systems such as lasers that require a high-capacity energy supply within a small footprint. To develop the required energy and cooling systems, we combine our mechatronic competencies and systems engineering skills with specialized disciplines and extensive production capabilities.
We have the required mechanical, thermal and technical power expertise, and in-depth knowledge of the various processes. This is demonstrated by our thermal management track record in high-tech, aerospace and logistics applications. For example, we have specialized in lumped-element modeling to understand and predict the operation of complete energy and cooling solutions. In addition, our in-house experts on computational fluid dynamics and finite-element modeling can make detailed energy-flow simulations. This enables us to develop reliable systems for operations in the military arena.
Defense is acquiring more and more electric operations and communication systems. This makes supplying power for missions in the field a challenge.
Unmanned system technologies can help defense organizations increase the effectiveness and safety of operations and people.
Next generation data communication using laser signals between ground stations, satellites, ground vehicles and aircraft, for example, will be at the terabit per second level.
No matter how much high-tech is wielded, the success of defense operations largely depends on the military personnel in the field.
Modern technology can help defense organizations increase the effectiveness and safety of missions. This includes smart systems, artificial intelligence and realistic simulations.
Being prepared is half the victory. Obviously, this also applies to defense operations.
