Piedrafita DefPower offers a comprehensive range of military power management solutions, meticulously designed for extreme mobility scenarios. Our expertise in defence electronics has positioned us as a leader in providing advanced and reliable power systems for military vehicles.

Our primary focus and most demanded development is solid-state power distribution solutions. Unlike traditional relay and fuse systems, solid-state power distribution offers significant advantages and new functionalities to vehicles and systems. This modern approach to power management requires a different methodology, and our team of highly qualified, multidisciplinary engineers is adept at designing, developing, validating, and certifying any component necessary for your power subsystem.

Benefits of solid-state defence electronics:

High Reliability

The absence of mechanical parts in our defence electronics systems greatly increases reliability by eliminating the possibility of mechanical failure. This ensures dependable performance in the most demanding environments.

Programmable Switching Logic

Our solid-state power distribution solutions feature independent and fully programmable switching logic, allowing for customisation and adaptability to specific mission requirements.

Thermal Efficiency

These systems are designed to operate with exceptional thermal efficiency, maintaining optimal performance without the need for extensive cooling mechanisms.

Reduced Footprint

Optimised weight and material use lead to a reduced environmental footprint. The compact design of our defence electronics solutions ensures easy integration into various vehicle architectures.

Low EMC Profile

The low electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) profile minimises interference with other electronic systems, ensuring seamless operation alongside critical vehicle components.

Enhanced Logistics

The programmability of our solutions significantly enhances logistics efficiency. A single reference can be employed on any vehicle, simply by changing the programming, thereby reducing inventory complexity and maintenance time.

HUMS-Ready

Our systems are designed to be Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) ready, with output data published in the communications layer. This enables a plug-and-play approach to power monitoring, simplifying the integration and management of power systems in defence electronics.

Piedrafita DefPower’s commitment to innovation and excellence in defence electronics ensures that our power management solutions meet the stringent demands of modern military operations. Our solid-state power distribution systems provide unmatched reliability, efficiency, and adaptability, making them the ideal choice for advanced military vehicles and systems.
