LIFECYCLE READINESS

STORAGE, TRANSIT &
Field Deployment.

ZARGES K470 aluminum transit cases stacked on pallets on the Anduril ALTIUS-600M production line

Base & Depot Storage

ZARGES cases hold their seal and structure through years of depot storage — IP54 protection as standard, with IP65 sealing and IP67 variants available, tested from −65°F to +176°F. The aluminum body won't warp, crack, or lose its gasket seal the way plastic cases do after extended stationary storage.

Transit Between Theaters

Rated to a 2,000 lb stacking load and 20,000+ latch cycles, ZARGES cases are built for repeated loading, palletizing, and transport — not a single trip. UN PG I certification covers lithium-ion battery and hazmat transport between locations.

Field Deployment

In the field, ZARGES cases convert to a Faraday cage on the K475 series — tested to >60dB EMI attenuation from 150kHz to 18GHz — and carry custom foam configurations for mission-specific electronics, optics, and weapons systems.
