Typical applications include:

  • Vehicle and weapons maintenance (cleaning, assembly, testing)
  • Aircraft manufacturing and maintenance
  • Manufacturing and assembly of defence and military equipment by arms companies
  • Missile and weapon systems (for example, missile ejection systems)
  • Test benches and validation systems
  • Painting and surface treatment facilities
  • Mobile and field-deployed units
  • Breathing air and safety systems for armed forces
  • (including in the military aviation sector)
  • Launching Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
  • Infrastructure on military bases and naval facilities
  • Powering Air Start Units (ASUs) for jet engines
  • Providing Class 0 oil-free air for targeting/radar system cooling
  • Providing power for onboard naval systems
