Optima Stantron has received a $2.4m order from a defence prime contractor to supply highly rugged electronic equipment cabinets for the US Navy’s next-gen Air and Missile Defence Radar (AMDR) program.

Optima Stantron has expanded its line of rugged MIL-SPEC, weld-free cabinets. With a bolted construction, the MB Series is designed for use in environments where welded joints may be considered a potential risk of failure, such as high shock and vibration or humidity. Built on a modular, common COTS platform, the cabinets are easily configured to user specifications.

Optima Stantron has released an innovative broadcast rack design that features a modular frame. The rugged, customisable design helps reduce installation costs, upgrade requirements and service time. Offering a professional appearance along with its flexibility, versatility and strength, the latest 12-gauge steel frame endures in the most demanding, pre- to post-production applications.

Withstanding the high shock and vibration typically found in railway applications, Optima Stantron has designed and successfully tested cabinets to meet both North American (AREMA) and European (CENELEC) railway standards. Optima Stantron designed the welded and riveted frame by modifying the standard M1 cabinet frame design.

Optima Stantron, an Elma company, introduces a new, counter-height mobile equipment rack based on the company’s proven design principles. Any situation where mobile electronic equipment is necessary benefits from the highly versatile mobile equipment rack, the first in a new family of Optima Stantron rugged rack systems.
