UPS systems for military applications

It is well known that if you want to disable a military body you attack its communications. This is never more true than in today’s armed forces. The modern battlefield is a fast-paced, demanding environment with a high dependence on up-to-the-minute intelligence. A power outage, even of a few milliseconds, can crash servers back in base and result in lost data and confusion while systems are rebooted and restored. In worst case scenarios this leaves frontline soldiers without vital information and could cost lives. A large number of regions in which the British forces are deployed have highly unreliable mains electricity supplies; UPS systems are now a vital part of any military establishment.

You need to work with a company that understands this and is experienced at working within military environments, with the specific safety and security regulations this involves.

End users
Chloride understands that the provision of uninterrupted power does not start and finish with the installation of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system or generator. We offer comprehensive service and maintenance delivered by the largest dedicated service network in the country to ensure you remain operational. In addition, as a global secure power provider with offices and approved business partners all over the world we offer a consistently high level of service wherever you are based – please download our international service coverage map for more details.

In addition all Chloride products are made to the very highest standard to offer optimal energy efficiency. With rising energy prices and increasing requirements for all public sector organisations to reduce their costs and carbon footprints, selecting an energy efficient UPS system is now a necessity. Exact annual savings will vary dependent on the rating of the UPS system involved but can often equate to several thousand pounds a year, for each UPS system.

Contractors
Chloride’s experience at working on secure sites, such as MoD bases, makes us an ideal partner. In addition with our dedicated project management department experienced in both UPS system and diesel generator installations you can delegate the entire backup power undertaking to experts.
