The plus points

Power supplies optimally adapted to the spatial conditions

On-board voltage network

KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics ensures smooth operation on the vehicle electrical system through consistent application of VG96916 or MIL-STD-1275. These standards guarantee that the power supplies harmonise with the power supply system, do not negatively influence the system or take damage themselves.

Qualification

Power supplies from KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics keep out water and dust, withstand salt fog, hold up to fluctuating pressures and the extended temperature range, and safeguard the supply of power to the connected IT devices.

EMC

An aluminium housing also ensures EMC compatibility. KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics applies various civil norms and standards as well as MIL-SPECS from the domains of land, air and water for this purpose.

Scalability

KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics adapts the device to the given spatial environment and the environmental conditions both mechanically and electrically.

Intelligent charging electronics

The power supply solutions are equipped with electronic circuits that recognise the connected loads and implement charging and supply specifications accordingly.

IP protection

The power supply solutions are designed and sealed to prevent water or moisture from getting into the device.

The functions

Designed for mobile, semi-mobile and stationary use, militarised power supplies from KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics feed multiple consumers and charge multiple batteries at the same time. In the event of a mains failure, the device assumes the task of supplying power to the consumers as a UPS.
