Patented Design Achieves High-Strength RF/HEMP Protection For Modular Facilities
Armag Modular EMP Shielded Facilities
Custom Engineered EMP Shielded Facilities
Armag’s modular EMP shielded facilities are custom engineered for critical defense applications that require MIL-STD-188-125 level protection and greater, including Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3), missile defense, missile warning and strategic deterrence. They are tested and proven to protect against EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse), HEMP (High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse), EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) to ensure electronic equipment can survive and operate without interruption and provide continuity of critical services in an EMP event.
Armag modular EMP Shielded Facilities are an ideal solution for protecting communication and mission equipment, data centers, backup generators and more, offering:
- Custom shielding levels, including extended range performance.
- No construction hassles or interruption to existing operations.
- Sizes From 60 sq. ft. to 5,000 sq. ft.
- Complete customization.
- Turnkey delivery.
- Rapid deployment.
- Can be relocated when needed.
- Robust construction, proven to last for decades with minimal maintenance.
MIL-STD 188-125 Protection and Beyond
Armag’s EMP shielded facilities are engineered and constructed in accordance with MIL-HDBK-423 and can be designed to meet MIL-STD-188-125-1A for fixed facilities or MIL-STD-188-125-2 for transportable facilities. The shielding consistently achieves +20dB of attenuation, but if your application has special attenuation requirements, our engineering team can design shielding to any level of performance, including extended range performance.
Trusted Performance
For over 50 years Armag has led the industry, innovating highly secure modular facilities for the U.S. Military and government agencies. We are honored to be trusted by the defense and intelligence communities to deliver custom, turnkey solutions that accomplish their mission objectives.
Built to Last
Armag modular EMP shielded facilities are designed for robust physical, environmental, RF, and operational security and longevity. They are purpose-built using a tubular steel frame with a continuously welded ¼” steel RF-attenuating skin. Only proven, approved RF knife-edge and RF filters are employed and fully welded to the enclosure. Advanced corrosion protection is applied with the final exterior coat, meeting ISO 12944 C5M for marine environments.
With an expected lifespan exceeding 30 years, general maintenance, as well as HEMP Hardness Maintenance/ Hardness Surveillance (HM/HS) is minimal.
The EMP shielded facilities are rated for outdoor use and easily exceed typical requirements for rain, snow, sun, and hail loads. Floor loading is designed on a case-by-case basis to ensure sufficient support for the heaviest components, including generators. Wind loads to hurricane strength (250 MPH) are accommodated with increased structural strength. Armag can custom engineer EMP shielded facilities for unusual global conditions that operators face in the real world.
Over 50 years of experience in fabricating steel enclosures for the U.S. Department of Defense goes into every EMP shielded facility we build.
EMP Shielding Features
Armag’s modular EMP shielded facilities employ multiple layers of EMP mitigation and innovative engineering to provide maximum protection. They are constructed using ¼” steel with continuously welded perimeters which forms a faraday cage and creates electrical isolation. Only certified point of entry accessories are used (shielded doors, input/output ports, air vents and piping) and certified power line and signal line filters.
Other EMP protection features include:
- Single or double knife-edge doors
- Optional entryway interlock to provide uninterrupted protection
- Signal and power line filters, waveguides beyond cutoff, and other custom POE treatments
- Structural hard mounts to securely fasten and ground mission critical equipment
- Re-deployable, patented seam design to allow for larger, multi-unit facilities
- Advanced corrosion prevention ISO 12944 C5M for marine environments
-
Armag’s patented seams which allow multiple units to be joined without loss of shielding protection or structural integrity.
Custom Solutions
Armag custom engineers EMP shielded facilities for a wide range of applications. Work with us to build a custom solution that fits your requirements. Shielding, size, interior layout, security features and more can all be tailored to meet your objectives. Interior amenities can also be custom configured including HVAC climate control, power distribution, equipment racks, backup power systems, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and more.
Customer Collaboration
Extensive collaboration with customers and providing them with solutions for Programs and Projects over the long term creates lasting partnerships. Our customers recognize us as the go-to SME (Subject Matter Experts) for mission critical EMP shielding applications.
“I have been very impressed by the talent of each discipline we’ve encountered. Their engineering team is top notch and program management is knowledgeable, engaged and a pleasure to work with.”
“Armag successfully navigated a complex supply chain all while accommodating project and customer-driven changes. Their proactive support and alternative solutions greatly helped mitigate the impacts, and we truly appreciate their efforts.”
Secure Production Facility
Every EMP shielded facility we make is engineered, designed and manufactured entirely in our tightly controlled, 40-acre production facility. Access controls, 24/7 surveillance, NIST compliant cyber security and detailed inspections of components not only ensures that your EMP shielded facility is built securely but allows our EMP specialists to oversee every step of production.
Transport Flexibility
Armag HEMP Shielded facilities are designed to be transported to the site of operation and survive transport induced loads. Where required, Armag can custom engineer its facilities to achieve specific transport environments, including airlift on C-17 and C5. Armag has in-house capabilities to engineer to MIL-STD-1791 and MIL-STD-209.
