UAV’s often have unique shapes and components; packaging must be tailored for snug fits and easy-to-carry with handles, wheels, or straps. Modular compartments for accessories like controllers, batteries, and tools are convenient and purposeful. Every solution combines cutting-edge technology with meticulous craftsmanship built with real-world conditions in mind, ensuring equipment arrives protected and ready for deployment.
Securing Critical Equipment in Unmanned Applications
Every UAV mission depends on a network of supporting technologies that must remain protected in the harshest environments. From ground support equipment and mission payloads to transport cases and command-and-control systems, every component requires rugged protection to ensure reliable performance throughout deployment, operation, and transport.
- Tethered with Ground Powered Units: a UAV physically connected to the ground by a cable that supplies continuous power and a secure data link. These UAVs require rugged enclosures that protect sensitive hardware while enabling reliable field operation under demanding environmental conditions.
- Transportation Cases for Tactical Drones: Many tactical drone platforms, including expendable one-way attack systems, require durable transport cases that protect equipment during storage, shipping, and rapid deployment. Rugged transport cases minimize damage from shock, vibration, moisture, dust, and rough handling while ensuring equipment arrives mission ready.
- ISR Electronics and Mission Payloads: Large ISR platforms rely on sophisticated electronic payloads that support intelligence gathering, communications, and surveillance missions. Sensitive mission electronics require rugged packaging that protects high-value equipment from environmental hazards while maintaining system integrity throughout transportation and operation.
- Command-and-Control and Operational Equipment: Ground control stations, rack-mounted computing systems, power distribution equipment, communications hardware, and command-and-control (C2) electronics are often deployed in harsh operating environments. Rugged enclosure systems help maintain reliability by protecting critical electronics from dust, moisture, impact, vibration, and electromagnetic interference.
Designing Rugged Cases for Unmanned Mission Success
Material Selection
Material choice directly impacts strength, weight, corrosion resistance, and thermal performance. DESAPRO offers enclosure solutions designed to meet mission-specific requirements while maintaining long-term durability in demanding defense environments. Different materials offer various benefits that can be matched to specific application requirements including:
- Aluminum: Offer a strong, durable exterior capable of withstanding impacts, vibrations, and harsh environmental conditions. Capable of integrating more comprehensive shielding practices than its counterparts, aluminum cases are also optimal for applications requiring electromagnetic security. Its high strength-to-weight ratio provides rugged protection without adding excessive bulk, making it well suited for mission-sensitive equipment that must travel through rugged conditions or endure demanding use.
- Composite: Offers corrosion resistance and environmental durability. Combined extreme stiffness, lightweight and durable properties of the material, composite cases are well suited for mobile and deployable systems.
- Rotomold: Provides a rugged alternative to aluminum and composite enclosures. Manufactured using rotationally molded polyethylene, these cases combine impact resistance, environmental sealing, and integrated rack hardware to support portable servers, communications systems, and control electronics in demanding environments.
IP Rating
Ensuring equipment can withstand exposure to demanding operational environments is crucial. It’s essential to know how well a device is protected against dust and water. At DESAPRO, our UAV transport cases are engineered for use in extreme conditions tailored to IP65 and/or IP67 protection.
EMI/EMC Protection
In sensitive applications such as UAVs, EMI/EMC can have devastating consequences. EMI/EMC shielding involves using conductive materials and various fabrication and manufacturing practices to block or attenuate interference, ensuring that electronics function safely and reliably in transit or on the battlefield. UAV systems rely heavily on accurate data transmission and communication. Effective EMI/EMC shielding helps prevent potential malfunctions in UAV systems to ensure the safety and reliability of the electronics.
