Defense

The military has the most demanding thermal management requirements of any industry, including the broadest operating temperature ranges (-40°C to +60°C) and the most stringent reliability requirements.

These requirements drive a number of engineering complications in which our engineers are experienced, including shock and vibration, dust tolerance, salt fog, etc. Keeping military electronics under their maximum operating temperature within these challenging environments is often a key design requirement for our customers.

APPLICATIONS

ACT specializes in the design, qualification, and manufacturing of full thermal solution systems for both the military soldier, on and off the field as well as the military systems technology they require for mission success. ACT custom engineers ruggedized thermal solutions for military electronics including, UAV system cooling, robotic system cooling, radar system cooling, telecom and Milcom system cooling, Satcom system cooling, and embedded computing cooling for both terrestrial and space applications. ACT also engineers ruggedized custom military-grade HVAC solutions for shelter systems and other industrial applications.
