Military shelter systems place unique demands on their power sources. Generators must accommodate space constraints, operate quietly, and provide reliable power for communications, electronics, and other essential equipment.
Fischer Panda’s SST 10kW generator offers a compact power solution for military shelter applications. For systems requiring both power generation and climate control, the SST 10kW Combo combines a generator with a 2-ton Environmental Control Unit (ECU) on a single framework. Designed with the S-788 military shelter in mind, this integrated configuration provides a practical approach to meeting power and environmental control needs.
The S-788 Shelter: A Demanding Power Environment
The S-788 Lightweight Multipurpose Shelter is a widely fielded military shelter platform designed for mounting on the HMMWV and compatible with the JLTV. It is built to demanding environmental specifications, including operating temperatures from -65°F to +125°F, rain resistance, wind loads up to 100 mph, and EMI shielding providing a minimum of 60 dB attenuation across the 150 kHz to 10 GHz frequency range.
Powering a shelter built to those standards requires a generator that does not compromise them. A unit with high electromagnetic emissions would undermine the shelter’s own EMI shielding. A unit too large to integrate with the shelter structure adds logistical burden and limits deployment flexibility.
The SST 10kW: Built for Shelter Applications
The Fischer Panda SST 10kW single-phase generator is designed specifically for military shelter power systems. It operates at 57 dBA at 23 feet, supporting low-noise operation in sensitive tactical environments where acoustic signature is a concern. It is also EMI hardened to protect the integrity of the communications and electronics systems it powers.
Key features of the SST 10kW for shelter applications include:
- 57 dBA at 23 feet: Low acoustic signature for tactical environments.
- EMI-hardened design: Helps maintain the electromagnetic integrity of the shelter environment.
- Digital diagnostic control panel: Provides real-time monitoring and fault management.
- Emergency automatic shutdown: Protection for low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, winding temperature, oil temperature, short circuit, and overload.
- Manual emergency controls: Emergency stop switch and battle short switch for field contingencies.
- Liquid-cooled design: Supports reliable operation across extreme temperature ranges.
The SST 10kW Combo: Integrated Power and Climate Control for the S-788
For shelter systems requiring both power generation and environmental control, Fischer Panda offers the SST 10kW Combo, a single-framework integration of the SST 10kW generator with a 2-ton Environmental Control Unit (ECU), designed specifically to fit inside the tunnel of an S-788 shelter.
The integration of the generator and ECU on a single framework eliminates the need for separate mounting solutions, reduces the overall footprint, and simplifies installation and field logistics. The ECU is designed to operate independently, running on either generator power or shore power depending on what is available, giving shelter operators flexibility without requiring manual reconfiguration.
The Combo unit weighs 937 lbs wet and requires no additional sound abatement within the shelter, a direct benefit of the SST 10kW’s liquid-cooled, fully encapsulated design.
Why Integration Matters for Shelter System Procurement
Defense procurement programs evaluating power solutions for shelter systems are increasingly focused on integrated, low-footprint configurations that reduce the number of separate components to source, install, and maintain. The SST 10kW Combo addresses this directly by providing one procurement, one installation, and one maintenance program for both the generator and the environmental control system.
For programs based around the S-788 shelter or similar platforms, this integrated approach also means the power system is pre-engineered to fit the shelter geometry rather than requiring custom adaptation in the field.
