Military Light Weight Masts (LWM)

Reconnaissance and surveillance - stationary and on-the-move

FSDS offers a light weight mast based on a patented all electric drive system characterized by a low power consumption during extension and retraction. This mast with sensor package meets the increasing requirements for reconnaissance and surveillance applications - stationary as well as on-the-move operations. The system is scalable in payload and height and can be mounted on any vehicle.

The mast interface can be customized for any sensor package.

  • All electric drive with low power requirements.
  • Enclosed system protecting drive mechanisms.
  • Light weight materials providing high strength and stiffness.
  • Mobility with mast extended.
  • Bellow for additional sand or ice protection.
  • Minimal or no maintenance and very high reliability.
  • System proven in theater.

The new mast is based on the same technology which succesfully has been deployed in theater since 2007.
