BEHLMANHauppauge,
New York, March 21, 2006—
Behlman Electronics Inc., known for its leadership in providing
power products for industrial, commercial and military applications,
has been awarded a follow-on contract to provide Behlman 94012-MK-119
Power Supply Systems for use on the U.S. Navy AEGIS Destroyer
MK-119 Fire Control Systems.
Behlman
was originally awarded a contract to design a form-fit-function
replacement MK-119 power supply system for the Navy’s systems
integrator when the original manufacturer went out of business.
Behlman responded by building, testing and delivering a first
article 94012-MK-119 system in just 90 days. As a result of the
improved performance and cost-savings made possible by the modified
COTS design of Behlman’s power supply system, Behlman was subsequently
asked to manufacture a replacement 3000 VA uninterruptible power
source (the Behlman UPS-3000) for the MK-119 Fire Control System.
“Our
‘can do’ attitude and ability to get things done on the first
contract resulted in multiple additional production contracts
with the systems integrator and the Navy,” explained Behlman
Vice President of Sales and Marketing Ron Storm. “We’ve proven
our ability to deliver, and the MK-119 Power Supply System has
proven itself able to withstand the rigors on board
U.S. Navy warships.”
The
Behlman 94012-MK-119 Power Supply System features a modular design
with three load-sharing, line replaceable units (Behlman 94016-MK-119
LRUs). In the event of the loss of one LRU, the remaining two
LRUs can support the full load while the third unit is hot-swapped
(replaced without shutting down power on the system). The ruggedized,
modified COTS LRUs are N+1 redundant and feature current sharing,
front panel status indicators and internal fans for cooling.
Behlman’s
94012-MK119 Power Supply System is rack mountable (19” rack mount
chassis, 3U) with an option for slides, and is designed to meet
MIL-STD-1399 and MIL-STD-461 specifications.
The
Behlman UPS-3000 is a ruggedized, true on-line UPS with five minutes
of hold-up time at 3000 VA. It provides protection against short-circuits
and other power problems including noise, sags, surges, transients,
frequency changes, high/low voltages, lightning, blackouts and
harmonics. This UPS is designed to meet MIL-STD-1399 and MIL-STD-461
specifications, and is used by the Navy to power the Behlman 94012-MK-119
Power Supply System, in addition to other 120 VAC, 60 Hz equipment
in the MK-119 Fire Control System.
