Ranked #1 portable tower for ICBM launch platforms by Navy Acquisition!
A few years back, Landa Mobile Systems worked through the approval testing process and acceptance testing standards under (Navy) acquisition rules. However, B.A.E. imposed a new government-required Acceptance Test Procedure that mandated testing every aspect of the tower system with them as a witness before they could accept it.
The BAE-led buyer stated: “I would recommend this mobile tower for anyone, commercial or government.”
Nicholas D Kuper, Deputy Engineering Manager/Meteorologist NASA, said, “NASA will be launching three sounding rockets in Australia for the first time since 1995. In support of these three science missions, the LMS CR150 Tower is utilized to help provide critical near-surface wind measurements from 50’ to 150’. The CR150 provides a mobile tower solution where a permanent tower structure is not possible/feasible, which makes it ideal for these types of remote deployments. At multiple levels, the tower will house anemometers, mounting arms, cables, etc. These instruments provide real-time wind measurements back to wind-weighting systems at various levels, which play a critical role in verifying the environmental conditions are safe for launching the rockets.”
D.O.D.’s quote justification stated: “A Landa Mobile Tower is the only one that meets all the critical requirements according to analysis comparison\evaluation.”
Landa’s portable tower and robust design come with a larger deployed footprint providing a 105 mph wind resistance capability,” where tower erection and retraction times must be under 30 minutes to meet mission timeline requirements.
Integrated. Battlespace simulations and test department rely on Landa for training, maintenance parts, and support.
The tower tilt & lift ratings have been determined through full-scale testing. Landa Mobile Systems has tested the tilting and lifting of the tower head load. A head load is defined as the weight of the equipment clustered at the top of the tower. The maximum head load capacity for the Lattice LMS XHW and XHD model Towers is certified to 2000 lbs / 900kg. For tilting and 2000 lbs / 900kg for lifting.
