Introduction to the industry
The equipment for the Military, Fire, & Police industry has to be compact, light, reliable and high performance. Compact and light for ease of storage and transportation in the vehicles used in these industries. Reliable and high performance as this equipment is often used in the field in time-sensitive critical situations and failure is not an option. Robust equipment capable of withstanding severe shock and impact or high temperatures may be needed as well. These requirements often mean a highly customised battery pack needs to be developed uniquely for the device that is shock-proof, resistant to water and dust ingress, and with a charge capacity long enough to sustain long periods of continual use.
Proud to design and manufacture for some of the world’s most prominent Military, Fire, & Police OEMs. Our design, manufacturing, and control processes are highly sympathetic to our customer’s needs in this industry as we understand that reliability and consistency of the product are of the utmost importance.
We enhance our approach to each project by bringing each new product through our knowledgeable design path and implement strong stage-gate controls until new product is released to full manufacturing.
The types of equipment used in this industry
Immobilization Devices
Surveillance Equipment
Night Vision and thermal imaging equipment
Buoys and Transponders
Demolition and Security Robotics
Communications and Video Devices
How we can help
Our development process aims to understand the specifics of your application and the goals of your new product. Pain points for the product and the circumstances it must perform in as well as benefits for your operation (design lifetime, supply chain, quality etc) are all possible to support when considering the battery design and components to use. We will consider your specific requirements for the battery (lifetime, electrical performance characteristics, mechanical demands and so on) and then design around that.
We often work on maximising battery lifetime to extend the useability of the device in the field. We will then test the battery to guarantee that it can survive whatever the product will reasonably endure during its lifetime, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Some projects require that we deliver state-of-the-art battery management and communications with the host device for the very latest in Military, Fire, & Police technology.
We also prioritise our component selection with regard to availability as well as quality. This is done with 100% full transparency to ensure that the final design can be in production with no component end of life or bill of material changes for many years to reduce or eliminate redesign efforts within a product life cycle.
What Alexander Battery Technologies can offer you
At Alexander Battery Technologies we hold stock of a range of key components including cells and ICs and combine this with a strong supply-chain for support materials which allows us to drive concept and prototype development rapidly when necessary.
With our detailed understanding of cell technologies and commercial roadmaps, experience in designing and delivering suitable charging solutions, expertise in material flow, mineral-filled resins, Battery Management System (BMS) design and experience serving the Military, Fire, & Police market in both Europe and the USA, Alexander Battery Technologies is ready to support your next battery-powered device.
The military, fire, and police industries need to manage peaks and troughs in demand and avoid overstocking or shortages.
We operate a managed buffer stock programme and maintain priority status in the supply chain to meet flexible demand requirements and deliver on time in full to support your delivery schedules.
We achieve this by maintaining strong relationships with our partners who are the leading technology providers in their area of expertise.
We work closely with these partners to ensure that we are on the leading edge of technology so we can incorporate the latest and most advanced products into every new design.
