Why reliable power matters for Department of Defence

Defence operations depend on power that holds up in demanding conditions, from secure facilities and communications to deployable and remote installations. Equipment may face heat, dust, vibration and unreliable supply, and a power failure can affect security and mission readiness.

UPS Solutions supplies, installs and maintains UPS systems, cooling and monitoring for Defence sites and projects. Our range includes rugged and outdoor UPS built for harsh environments, transformer-based industrial UPS, and containerised data centres and switchrooms that can be deployed where they are needed. We work to the site's requirements and support systems with preventative maintenance and emergency response.

03Minutes later
Operations lose situational awareness until power is restored.
A generator picks up longer outages and operations carry on.
