MILITARY PACKAGED AIR-CONDITIONING (MPA)

CMCA specialises in the design and manufacture of precision environmental control solutions and offers a range of equipment designed to operate in the most extreme environments on earth. Systems which routinely and reliably perform exactly to specification in environments so extreme that simple survival could be considered a success. With typical operating temperatures of -46°C to +58°C CMCA products have become renound for their ability to perform where other systems simply cannot and with EMC specifications to Def Stan 59-411 Land Class A CMCA environmental control solutions are first class in reliability and performance. CMCA offers both split systems and packaged systems for full modularity for ease of maintenance, repair and replacement under a full CLS package.

With COTS solutions ranging from1kW mobile environmental control for deployable electronic rack and satellite terminals, 10kW shelter and vehicle mounted environmental control for C4I and personnel to 25kw towable environmental control systems for large ground infrastructure, vehicle storage and aircraft hangers. CMCA also offers COTS NBC systems, air management systems and de-humidification systems.

CMCA offers full bespoke system design capabilities to customer defined specification or by working with the customer from day one to define a complete reliable, efficient high performing system.

As a testimony to their performance, CMCA environmental control systems can be found across a wide range of applications:

• Deployable electronics racks and satellite ground terminals
• ATC Radar systems
• Personnel tented infrastructure
• C4I and electronics shelters

INTERGRATED ISO SHELTERS

With decades of experience supplying and supporting ISO shelter integration CMCA have used the experience and lessons learnt to become a ‘one stop shop’ full shelter integrator. By offering a COTS 20 foot ISO platform with a modular approach to environmental control and power generation CMCA can offer a fully integrated shelter system tailored to customer requirements without the time and financial commitments to design a bespoke system from the group up.

Though CMCA offer full bespoke design and manufacture capabilities, understanding the market trend towards COTS equipment is the foundation for a modular COTS integrated shelter system. CMCA shelters systems can be deployed via road, rail, sea and air or a permanently vehicle mounted platform.

MILITARY ELECTRONICS SYSTEMS

CMCA design and manufacture electronics, electrical cabinets and wiring harnesses to the highest RFI/EMC requirements and to withstand the demands of the harshest battlefield conditions. With a fully modular approach CMCA electronic systems play a key role in the ‘line replaceable unit’ approach to aid front line equipment support and repair.

CMCA also offer remote RFI/EMC investigation and analysis to be able to fine tune an electrical/electronic system prior to committing to the financial commitment to a full RFI/EMC test chamber.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

CMCA invests in the future through research and development into the latest environmental control refrigerant to ensure the highest possible performance whilst contributing to the reduction of refrigerants and environmental impacts. Further research and development into diesel consumption, emissions and logistics to offer a scalable line of hybrid generators which reduce noise, emissions, diesel consumption and the logistical burden posed to supplying vehicles and equipment with fuel.

By utilizing the latest 3D CAD, FEA and CFD software packages CMCA are able to fine tune a system design to ensure the highest performance, reliability and efficiency. Through the in house 3D printing and rapid prototyping CMCA are able to offer scaled design prototypes to ensure the form, fit and function of a system design. Once simulated CMCA are able to validate system performance through in-house testing including:

• Electrical safety testing
• Function test
• RFI/EMC
• Hot and Cold chamber
• Acoustic profiling
• Drop and topple testing
