Military-Grade Filtration Solutions For Salt Fog Protection

Protecting Critical Systems in Demanding Environments

UAF specializes in the design and manufacture of custom air filters tailored to warfighter requirements especially in instances where salt fog is present. Our advanced filtration solutions provide multiple layers of protection, reducing maintenance, enhancing reliability, and improving the operational readiness of mission-critical equipment, even in the most challenging maritime environments.

Protection Across Various Platforms

Our filtration solutions are trusted to protect a wide range of critical systems, including Communications, Navigation, and Radar systems, and ISR sensors. UAF filters are utilized across various aerospace, ground, and surface platforms, such as:

– Navy Surface Combatants

– Fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft

– Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

– Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASV)

– Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV)

Superior Filtration for Challenging Environments

UAF filters are engineered to deliver superior airborne particulate filtration, ensuring optimal performance in harsh maritime conditions. Key benefits of our high-efficiency filtration solutions include:

– Protection Against Salt Fog Ingress: Prevents corrosive salt fog from damaging sensitive electronic components.

– Enhanced Reliability: Reduces system failures and extends the lifespan of critical equipment.

– Reduced Maintenance: Minimizes the frequency of maintenance intervals, saving time and resources.

– Improved Operational Readiness: Ensures mission-critical systems are always prepared for deployment.

– Increased Material Availability (Am): Enhances the percentage of total inventory available for operational use.

– Increased Operational Availability (Ao): Boosts the percentage of time systems can perform their assigned missions.

Importance of Salt Fog Protection

Salt fog, prevalent in maritime environments, poses a significant threat to electronic and mechanical systems. The presence of salt accelerates corrosion, which can lead to:

– Degraded Performance: Corroded components can malfunction or fail, compromising system integrity and performance.

– Increased Maintenance Costs: Corrosion requires frequent maintenance and replacement of affected parts, driving up operational costs.

– Reduced Equipment Lifespan: Continuous exposure to salt fog shortens the lifespan of critical equipment, necessitating more frequent replacements.

– Compromised Mission Readiness: Corrosion-induced failures can render mission-critical systems inoperable, jeopardizing mission success.

By implementing UAF’s advanced salt fog protection solutions, you can safeguard your equipment against these threats, ensuring sustained performance and reliability in the most demanding environments.
