Contact Corporation's Advanced Telescopic Mast System
Contact Corporation is poised to showcase its latest innovation at the upcoming AUSA event. This company, known for its high-quality telescopic antenna mast systems, will introduce the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) Trailer Pallet Mast System. This new product, debuting from October 10-13, aims to enhance military and government communications.
Benefits of the JLTV Trailer Pallet Mast System
The standout feature of the JLTV Trailer Pallet Mast System is its on-board power capabilities. This innovative design eliminates the need for a separate truck or trailer for a generator, streamlining operations, and ensuring mission success in various environments.
Expert Insights on the New System
"We are excited to present this cutting-edge mast system tailored for the Department of War," stated Gary Groah, Director of Business Development for Contact Corporation. "Our design not only expands the operating space by approximately 200% but also accommodates two 10kW LiquidPiston gensets, offering vital resources for any military requirements. This expanded deck-space maximizes utility with ease of deployment."
Integration with LiquidPiston Technology
The components of the JLTV Trailer Pallet include ultra-compact 10kW generators sourced from LiquidPiston, Inc. Renowned for its compact and efficient rotary combustion engine technologies, LiquidPiston's involvement enhances the power options available to the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.
Expanded Operational Capabilities
With this new system, military forces can benefit from double the deck space of conventional pallet systems, allowing for more extensive equipment setups and operational readiness. This enhancement directly contributes to the efficiency of military logistics and communication infrastructure.
Event Participation and Display
During AUSA, attendees can visit Contact's booth numbered 6452 in Hall D/E. They will have the opportunity to examine live models of both the JLTV Trailer Pallet System and LiquidPiston's 10kW genset. LiquidPiston will also be present, showcasing their technologies within the U.S. Army's Innovator's Corner on October 14.
Advancements in Generating Power
The LiquidPiston 10kW genset is noteworthy for its innovative design, being considerably smaller in size than existing military generators. It provides a robust 25-horsepower engine while occupying less than one-third of the space required by traditional models such as the AMMPS 10kW genset.
The Importance of Partnerships
Collaboration is vital in military technology development. Alec Shkolnik, CEO of LiquidPiston, underlined the synergistic approach both companies are adopting. He emphasized the significant support from the U.S. Army, which enables the establishment of rapidly deployable communication systems crucial for modern military operations. As logistical challenges grow, innovative solutions like these will be paramount.
