Project : Panther OWS Re-Role
Customer : BAE Systems Newcastle
Brief : A complete set of equipment in needed to be removed, transported & stored
safely, then re-installed to a military vehicle on a regular basis.
The equipment consists of approximatley 60 line items varing from delicate electronic
instruments & display screens to cable harnesses, fixings & fasteners
Solution: After many briefing meetings between ourselves,our customer & the subsequent
end user,it was decided to protect the various items of equipment within a single
inner container,divided into separate compartments,each fitted internally with foam
inserts.The type & density of the foam was chosen specifically to protect the delicate
equipment from the rigors of transit, whilst still being robust enough to withstand
regular use. The inner container was designed with a removable tray to locate all the
small coponents & fixings.The lid of the inner container was designed for a dual
purpose,to secure the contents inside & to locate the main mount & some of the
more robust items on top.A bespoke fastening system was designed & manufactured
to secure the main mount to the top of the case utillising the existing hardware taken
from the vehicle. Once the inner container is loaded,it is located & secured inside a
outer transit case which is fitted with quick release fasteners to aid removal of the
side & lid.Various trials were undertaken to establish the correct fasteners as they
had to be easily opened but very hardwaring.Both inner & outer cases were marked
to identify locations for specific parts & an illustrated guide was printed & sent with
each package showing a fully loaded case.
