| Will-Burt Company The Will-Burt Company designs and manufactures telescoping masts and accessories for many military applications worldwide. Our telescoping masts have been used for mobile military applications including elevated testing, communications, floodlights, reconnaissance, target acquisition and surveillance.Will-Burt masts are perfect for vehicle, trailer or field installations. Will-Burt offers complete mast system packages by supplying a full line of accessories such as air compressors, electric positioners, D-TEC™ mast safety systems, mast rotators and floodlights. Custom masts can be designed to meet specific requirements regarding mounting, extended height, retracted height and payload. PNEUMATIC MAST SERIESThe mainstay of the Will-Burt line, the pneumatic mast models, are constructed of rugged, high strength heat treated aluminum tubes and collars with matching machined keyways to maintain directional azimuth. Masts with locking collars for indefinite extension without air pressure are available. Masts with extended height to 165ft. (50m) or with payloads to 1,200lbs. (545kg) can be specified.SABER MAST SERIESWill-Burt Saber masts have a compact mechanical drive that takes up only one cubic foot. Thin foil technology provides exceptional strength and the mast can be raised and locked at precisely the desired height up to 49ft (15m). The result is a lightweight telescoping mast with a large payload capacity and positive extension and retraction. Saber masts are available in freestanding heights from 7ft to 33ft (2m to 10m) with top load capacities of up to 450lb (200kg). QUICK ERECTING ANTENNA MAST (QEAM™) SERIESThe QEAM series masts are lightweight, crank up models designed for one or two person portability and fast set up of tactical communications. Heights range from 20ft to 50ft (6m to 15m) with payload capacities from 15lb to 75lb (7kg to 34kg) on the Heavy Duty models. Guylines, guystakes, drive handles and all other accessories are stored in separate weatherproof transport bags. The 10m QEAM (AB-1386/U) is the standard tactical communications antenna mast for the United States Army.STILETTO™ MAST SERIESThe Stiletto series masts are motorized screw drive models with heights from 14ft to 50ft (4m to 15m) with payloads from 125lb to 250lb (57kg to 114kg). Stiletto masts have mechanical locks on each section allowing limited on the move mobility with partial mast extension. They are constructed with state-of-the-art carbon fiber composite tube sections and corrosion resistant hardware and designed to meet the most demanding requirements of mobile communications and surveillance systems. WILL-BURT MAST PROGRAMSWill-Burt has a history of successfully supply masts to many international militaries and governments.1980s - Will-Burt designed and manufactured pneumatic telescoping masts for the following mobile, ground military programs:TRAILBLAZER - GTE Government SystemsPATRIOT - GTE Government SystemsTACJAM - GTE Government SystemsTACJAM - GTE Government SystemsTRQ-32 - Magnavox1990s to 2000s - Will-Burt designed and manufactured the Saber electromechanical mast with carbon fiber composite sections for payloads up to 200kg and high antenna pointing accuracy:IEWCS - Electrospace Systems, 10m SaberIEWCS - Lockheed Martin Systems Integration, 10m SaberLAV Recce - Diesel Division General Motors, 9m SaberASLAV-S - British Aerospace Engineering, 9m SaberASLAV-S - Tenix Defense, 9m SaberMEWSS PIP - Lockheed, 9m SaberSTALKER - Rafael Systems, 8m SaberSILVER ARROW - Elbit Systems, 10.75m Saber2000s - In 2000, Will-Burt acquired Tri-Ex Tower Corporation and the screw drive technology developed for the US Army 10m QEAM program and Motorola's J-STARS program. Utilizing this technology, the Stiletto mast was developed, combining the reliable screw drive system with the highly engineered carbon fiber tube sections of the Saber mast series.US Naval Research Lab - 5.5m StilettoBAE Systems - 10m StilettoHeart Industries - 4m StilettoLockheed Martin - 6m Stiletto (WIN-T Program)Harris GCDS - 10m Stiletto (WIN-T Program)Aerospace Corp - 15m StilettoNaval Surface Warfare Center - 6m Stiletto army-technology.com |
