Military-Grade DC-DC Power Supplies

ACT has a long history of producing a variety of DC-DC power supplies for military and rugged applications. Our military-grade DC-DC power solutions are relied upon for mission-critical land, sea, and air operations around the world. We’ve leveraged our vast application knowledge to develop DC-DC COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) power solutions that are compliant with MIL-STD-1275, typically required for all ground vehicle platforms. Our high-performing power supplies can meet many other major military standards and revisions as well, while keeping in mind the protection of the end user.

Our rugged DC-DC MIL-COTS (Military COTS) line of products are tested to meet military standards and are quick reaction ready. Their reliability and affordability make them a go-to option for power systems—plus, they’re available for purchase now which makes meeting your schedule a breeze. Check out our available DC-DC MIL-COTS power solutions below.

Make It a MOTS

The challenging conditions and demands of the military vary, but performance and reliable is a consistent must have. The right power supply helps keep equipment functioning properly in the field and our troops protected. Make a COTS power supply a MOTS, or Modified Off-The-Shelf, power supply designed specifically around performance in your application. MOTS are a fast, budget-friendly solution tailored to meet your specific power and environmental requirements.

At ACT, our MOTS power supplies are customized to be meet your requirements and expectations for performance and protection. Talk to us today about making a MOTS power solution specific to your application needs.

Custom DC-DC Product Solutions

We serve all branches of the military with power solutions that perform and protect. Our DC-DC power supplies are designed and manufactured under one roof in the USA to meet a variety of military standards and revisions, such as MIL-STD-1275 (ground vehicles). Our engineers are accustomed to the technically challenging requirements of these specifications, such as the high voltage spikes and low input voltage transients of MIL-STD-1275.

ACT has successfully deployed 270 VDC power supplies, 28 VDC power supplies, and numerous other DC input voltage products in a variety of applications. Our high voltage power supplies utilize lightweight potting compounds or our proprietary oil-gas process to achieve a high level of reliability. We’ve solved power problems for helmet display applications for fighter and helicopter platforms, electro-static precipitators, fluid ionization/filtration, ion pumps, and powering image intensifier tubes. We have the know-how to tackle your tough power challenges and build you a power solution that will last.
