Technical operational infrastructure for mobile and networked mission systems.

eproo manages technical projects in the defence sector and develops its own operational infrastructure for mobile mission systems.

Powered and connected on site. We deliver technical infrastructure that powers your systems on site and makes them visible and controllable remotely.

The situation

Capabilities are changing. Your operational base has to keep pace.

Sensors, communications, compute and software are evolving in ever shorter cycles. At the same time, technical systems are becoming more mobile, more distributed and more connected.

Yet every new capability needs the same foundations:

  • Energy management
  • Control & automation
  • Networking & communications
  • Compute, data & storage
  • Operation, service & diagnostics
Physical integrationEnclosures, mounts, cable routing, cooling and protection as the framework for all functions

Wherever possible, these recurring operational functions should not have to be built from scratch for every mission system.

Our approach

User-driven. Industry-compatible.

Operational infrastructure has to reflect the real needs of the user, be economically feasible and still integrate into existing industrial and system architectures. From this we derive three development goals:

Accelerate delivery

Base planning, procurement and integration on prepared infrastructure building blocks wherever the project allows.

Simplify adaptation and further development

Integrate new technologies through defined interfaces and design operational functions so that they remain transferable across projects.

Limit integration effort and cost

Solve recurring integration steps once and rely on commercially available industrial components instead of project-specific one-off solutions.

Positioning

Where eproo fits into the overall system

Mobile and networked mission systems perform highly specialised tasks. To operate, they need suitable technical operational infrastructure.

eproo concentrates on this operational infrastructure and its physical integration. The actual mission functions remain the responsibility of the respective specialist suppliers.

Our understanding

We distinguish three functional areas of responsibility: mission function, operational functions and physical integration. What matters is the task of a component, not where it is installed or how large it is.

Mission equipment

The mission equipment performs the actual task of the system, such as sensing, reconnaissance or drone applications.

Learn more

The mission function performs the actual mission- or application-specific task of a system. Examples include radar and sensor systems, EO/IR, signals intelligence and spectrum analysis, drone applications and specialised analysis and software functions.

Mission functions can be located inside or outside a protected unit. An RF signal amplifier inside the enclosure may, for example, be part of the mission-specific receive chain, while the associated receiver is mounted outside on the mast. Responsibility for these mission functions lies with the respective specialist supplier; eproo does not develop them itself but creates the conditions for their technical integration.

Operational infrastructure

The operational infrastructure powers, connects, controls and monitors the mission system. This is our core area.

Learn more

The operational function provides the technical foundations for operating the mission system. These include power generation, power supply and distribution, communications and data links, control and I/O, monitoring, diagnostics and defined technical interfaces. Operational functions can be located inside or outside: a controller, for example, sits inside the enclosure, while a diesel generator supplies power from outside.

This is eproo’s core area. We deliver the infrastructure that powers, connects, controls and monitors components. Depending on the system design, it can also safeguard operation, for example through fault detection, alarms, load management, switching to planned fallback paths or controlled shutdown. Which functions are actually implemented depends on the respective requirements.

Physical integration

Physical integration houses and protects all the equipment, from the enclosure to the mast and cable routing.

Learn more

Physical integration creates the mechanical, electrical and thermal conditions for operating the entire system. This includes the outer shell and enclosures, 19-inch mounts, carrier and mast structures, fixings, cable routing, electrical protection measures, cooling and protection against the specified environmental conditions.

Its scope of protection and integration does not end at an enclosure wall: it also covers external equipment, cable connections, generator placement, masts and fixings. While physical integration mainly protects and houses the equipment, the operational infrastructure supports the monitoring and safeguarding of ongoing operation. Both areas are part of eproo’s portfolio and work hand in hand.
