Mobile Command. No Matter What.
Power Anytime and Anywhere.
Deploy a self-sufficient mobile command post without a generator or external power supply. 600ah of battery forms the core of the system, with 50amp DC-to-DC charger provide 12v charging to the batteries while in-use or stationary. Running the vehicle engine will easily maintain or charge the battery supply. A 335w rooftop solar panel offers additional charge, and keeps the battery fully charged when not in use.
The power system includes a 3000w inverter/charger to run computers and send power to 30+ outlets (120v, USB-A, and USB-C). We work primarily with marine-grade electrical components and wiring. All wire is properly gauged and labelled, and installed in an organized and accessible manner for easier maintenance and repair.
Built for your Mission and your Budget.
We've taken a comfortable and compact mobile command center down to a rock solid foundation with this configuration. It's a straightforward setup that covers the basics, with space to upgrade as operations demand and budget allows, either in the initial build or later retrofitting. Weight, cost, and complexity stay low compared to larger mobile command vehicles, allowing us to pass the savings and flexibility on to your agency.
We can do as much or as little as you need us to do, in order to deliver a vehicle that closely matches your operational needs.
Ready to Retrofit.
The interior walls are covered by carpeted 1/2” plywood panels, which provide an easy mounting surface for adding in additional components and equipment when you need it. Lighting and main wire trunks are run behind removable covers, to increase ease of future maintenance and upgrades. Networking wire is run via wire chases beneath the desktop to be easily accessible for any system changes.
And we're here to provide ongoing service, repair, and install support for mobile command vehicles, to make refinements based on use in the field, update or upgrade onboard systems, and extend the operational lifespan of the vehicle.
The idea is to make something that's hard to break — and easy to fix.
