Custom Cooling Solution for Emerging Drone Blocking Technology

With the boom in drone sales over the past few years, domestic and international airspace has been flooded with millions of new aircraft, giving way to criminal and even terrorist activity through the weaponization of such innovative technology. As a leader in the Security and Surveillance Industry, Fortem Technologies is dedicated to defending and securing the world’s airspace by detecting and defeating these dangerous drones. Located in Pleasant Grove, Utah, Fortem Technologies contacted EIC Solutions, Inc. in search of a cooling solution for their Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) electronic application.

Given that security and safety were on the line, Fortem Technologies was in need of an efficient and compact air conditioned solution to keep their drone blocking technology fielded and operational with 24/7 runtime capabilities, while also protecting their sensitive equipment from harsh weather conditions, such as extreme temperatures and severe storms.
