Mandus Group Can Service Both ERLS and Tritium Fire Control Systems

Fire Control_1 

If your artillery fleet's fire control systems are in need of service, Mandus Group has the capabilities to either replace an existing tritium system or make a conversion to the ERLS (Elimination of Radioactive Light Sources) system.

 

The tritium fire control system employs the emitted electrons from decaying radioactive material to light up phosphors. This process creates a self-powered light source that remains functional for years.  Mandus Group has the expertise to handle this delicate material and install it safely into your fire control systems.

 

The ERLS system is a specialized process that makes the conversion of tritium powered light sources to non-radioactive Light Emitting Diode (LED) light sources possible.  It utilizes ultra-low power LED technology to eliminate the burden of nuclear regulation, streamline maintenance processes, and reduce logistical costs.   Mandus Group and their partnering companies are the only operations with the expertise to make this conversion.

 

If you have an inquiry into fire control logistics, please contact us at 309-786-1507.

The MG7100 Series of Barrel Cleaning Systems Can Drastically Reduce the Time and Energy Associated in Removing Copper from Howitzer Barrels

MG7105

  

High-performance artillery requires regular cleaning and decoppering to ensure that the systems remain reliable and accurate.  Too much copper build up in the bore can lead to lower muzzle velocity thus increasing the dispersion pattern and reducing the accuracy of the howitzer.  The MG7100 series of barrel cleaning systems can alleviate the time, cost and inconvenience of the barrel maintenance. 

 

It's a simple process that involves three steps: apply the MG7100 D-COP foam with the applicator; allow 30 minutes for the foam to loosen the copper residue; and swab clean with a simple cloth and bore brush.  D-COP foam will also remove brass and combustion wastes in this process while remaining environmentally compliant with the most stringent of standards.  The U.S. Army's Benet Laboratory has certified D-COP foam as not harmful to the bores of howitzer barrels.  The system is currently available in 105mm and 155mm models.  If you would like to place an order, please contact us at 309-786-1507.
