Benefits of composite mast system:

  • Light structure allows easier transportation on vehicle and on the field. This relieves stress from the operators and transportation equipment. After all, the safe and rapid function are key factors when operating any communication system. Moreover, the crew has to be able operate the system in all environments, whether in field or vehicle mounted applications.
  • Strong construction: Mast sections made of glass and carbon composite are light and strong. Great strength to weight ratio makes composite material the best choice for tactical field conditions. Strong and rigid fibre construction also ensures that the mast resists wind deflection in extreme conditions, resulting in great operational and survival wind ratings.
  • Flexible design and manufacturing process enables to achieve the demanding specifications and characteristics that tactical mast systems must fulfil.
  • Tolerance for harsh environments – fiberglass and carbon fibre construction withstands sand, dust, ice, and dirt. From arctic conditions to the desert heat, composite material withholds its structure and capabilities extremely well. What this means, is that operators can trust the system to deliver what’s promised, and that their communication system functions in the most extreme conditions.
