EMI/RFI Shielding

Integrated conductive gasket tracks for optimal electromagnetic isolation

Weight Optimization

Generative, topology-optimized lightweight lattice internal structures

Salt Spray Resistance

ASTM B117 tested up to 1,000 hours for maritime and coastal deployment

Outgassing (CVCM)

< 0.1% Total Mass Loss (TML) adhering to NASA SP-R-0022A space standards

Sensor Interface Geometry

Custom tailored for short-wave (SWIR), mid-wave (MWIR), and long-wave (LWIR) cryocooler housings

Thread & Fastener Specifications

Helicoil-reinforced locking threads to prevent loosening under high-g maneuvers

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

ASTM E1417 Liquid Penetrant and ASTM E1742 X-ray radiography verified

Industry Applications

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

Provides ultra-stable, lightweight gimbal mounts for EO/IR surveillance payloads, ensuring crystal-clear reconnaissance imagery and prolonged loitering flight times.

Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs)

Secures driver’s thermal viewers and situational awareness sensors against heavy chassis vibration, mine-blast shocks, and harsh terrain dust.

Missile Guidance Systems

Delivers thermal-stable housing brackets for nose-cone seeker heads, maintaining tight boresight alignment during high-velocity, high-G maneuvers.

Naval Border Surveillance

Engineered with anti-corrosive hardcoats to protect coastal electro-optical tracking systems from continuous salt-spray, humidity, and maritime wind loads.

Helicopter Target Acquisition

Supplied as ruggedized structures for nose-mounted targeting pods, absorbing low-frequency rotor vibrations to keep laser designators completely locked.

Anti-Drone (C-UAS) Systems

Acts as the foundational alignment frame for rapid-pan thermal tracking cameras tasked with detecting and neutralizing micro-UAS threats instantly.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Can Frigate customize the bracket designs to fit proprietary sensor footprints?

Yes. Every bracket we manufacture can be tailored via 5-axis CNC machining to match the exact mounting interfaces, weight constraints, and heat-sink requirements of your specific SWIR, MWIR, or LWIR sensor models.

What quality documentation do you provide with defense-grade shipments?

We provide full documentation packages including Material Test Reports (MTRs), AS9102 First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR), Certificate of Conformance (CoC), Anodizing/Coating compliance certificates, and NDT (X-ray/Dye Penetrant) test results.

How do your brackets maintain infrared sensor alignment under extreme temperature shifts?

We utilize specialized aerospace alloys like Aluminum-Lithium and Titanium that feature incredibly low coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE). This ensures minimal geometric deformation when transitioning rapidly from desert heat to high-altitude freezing environments.

Are Frigate’s manufacturing facilities compliant with defense regulatory frameworks?

Absolutely. Frigate operates under strict AS9100 Rev D and ISO 9001:2015 quality frameworks, ensuring full material traceability, secure data handling, and production workflows that meet international defense sourcing standards.

Do you support CARC paint finishes for military camouflage requirements?

Yes. Our finishing options include MIL-A-8625 Type III Hardcoating followed by Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) in matte black, olive drab, or desert tan, specifically formulated to meet non-reflective Near-Infrared (NIR) signature requirements.
