Mast Systems and Technology
• Elevated Weapon platforms (EWP's).
• Elevated Reconnaissance platforms (ERP's).
• EMSS Elevated Missile and Surveillance platforms.

The experience and know how as a prime contractor, contractor and supplier to programs on land based weapon systems has a rich heritage of defence business exceeding 40 years. Our programs range from development and supply of complete weapon systems through upgrade programs to overhaul programs for different kinds of main battle tanks and armored vehicles.

Development of new systems is mainly based on the philosophy to remove the soldier from the line of sight and direct fire and to enhance the soldiers level of protection.

Alternative is to increase the protection of the platform/vehicle. Use of 3D tools (ProE) and other software packages for design, development, modeling and structural analysis incl. motion, human engineering, vibration, shock, etc.

Elevated TOW System (ETS)

The ETS (Elevated TOW System) has been developed in cooperation with Delco Defence Systems Operations (DDSO), General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS), Raytheon, Indra and the Danish Army.

The weapon system has 4 TOW launchers mounted on top of a retractable mast that can be elevated up to approx. 6.5 meters above ground.

The TOW missiles can be launched from any position of the mast. Our ATGM (Anti Tank Guided Missile) and mast technology has been selected and delivered for the US Army BCT/IAV program. The ATGM allows full mobility while mast is elevated.

Mast technology includes the capability to secure the necessary stability and capability to handle:

Aiming and missile guidance.
Environmental issues i.e. icing, sand and dust etc.
No-backlash solutions.
Mast elevation while allowing full or limited vehicle/platform mobility
Use as weapons platform as well as platform for reconnaissance and surveillance.

Elevated Missile and Surveillance System (EMSS)

Mobile Mast System with a universal interface plate.

For operation of recoil free weapons- and missile systems i.e. RBS 70, TOW etc. as well as radar and sensor systems.
Approved for lifting personnel when equipped with a platform.
Elevates up to 2000 kg/4,400 lb.
Currently designed in heights of up to 18 meter/60 ft.
Independent power unit optional.
