Military Facilities & Defense

Enhancing Resilience of Critical Defense Infrastructure

Military Facilities & Defense

The Challenge

Military installations are vital pillars of national defense, encompassing command centers, communication hubs, radar stations, fuel depots, ammunition storage, and advanced weapon systems. Spread across diverse geographic regions, these facilities are continuously exposed to the destructive power of lightning strikes. The risks extend beyond structural damage, including disruption of mission-critical systems, ignition of hazardous materials, compromise of sensitive data, and reduced operational readiness. Ensuring uninterrupted defense operations requires robust and reliable lightning protection measures.

Our Solution

Aegisflash provides mission-critical lightning and surge protection solutions tailored for military environments, ensuring operational continuity and safeguarding sensitive assets. Our approach includes:

Comprehensive Risk Assessment

Evaluating vulnerabilities across command centers, airfields, fuel depots, radar systems, and weapons storage facilities.

Customized System Design

Engineering resilient protection strategies with air terminals, down conductors, bonding, and grounding networks designed for military-grade applications.

Surge Protection Integration

Installing SPDs to protect radar, communication lines, IT infrastructure, and sensitive electronic systems from surges and transients.

Installation & Commissioning

Delivered by certified professionals to ensure compliance with NFPA 780, IEC 62305, and MIL-STD requirements.

Testing & Maintenance

Routine inspection, earth resistance testing, and predictive maintenance programs for sustained reliability.

Hardening Against Threats

Integration of redundant protection layers for sites in lightning-prone or high-threat zones.

Benefits

  • Mission Continuity – Ensures uninterrupted defense operations during lightning events.
  • Asset Protection – Safeguards expensive radar systems, communication equipment, and weapons storage.
  • Personnel Safety – Protects military staff working in lightning-prone facilities.
  • Regulatory Compliance – Adheres to NFPA, IEC, UL, and defense-specific standards.
  • Resilient Infrastructure – Strengthens readiness and long-term operational reliability of defense systems
