THE SWEPT
ADVANTAGE
- SizeDozens of standard sizes, or fully custom sizes in 1mm increments with minimal NRE, so the enclosure uses only the space the payload requires.
- WeightUp to 50% lighter than comparable plastic cases, without sacrificing durability.
- EMIConverts to a Faraday cage — tested to >60dB attenuation from 150kHz to 18GHz. HEMP and Tempest requirements can be met (K475 series).
- PackoutUp to 20% more interior volume within the same exterior footprint.
- TemperatureTemperature-stable from −238°F to +302°F without warping, cracking, or loss of seal.

STORAGE, TRANSIT &
Field Deployment
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, temperature-stable from −238°F to +302°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, 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.

TESTED TO US MILITARY STANDARDS
Results from the ZARGES Defence Catalogue. Each test was run by an independent testing institute or on ZARGES' own test rigs, on the case series listed.
Rain & Blowing Rain
40 mph wind, approx. 4 in/h rainfall, minimum 30 minutes per side.
Blowing Dust
20 mph dust-laden wind, two 6-hour runs.
Salt Fog
96 hours salt spray at 95°F (shipboard and coastal service).
Fungus
28 days in fungal-growth conditions (jungle and humid storage).
Wheeled-Vehicle Vibration
Composite wheeled-vehicle vibration profile, shock-mounted rack frame included.
US Highway Truck Vibration
Common-carrier profile for cases shipped by truck on US roads.
Transit Drop
Procedure IV transit drop, simulating drops during handling and shipment.
EMI Shielding
Shielding effectiveness measured to the US standard for electronics enclosures.
Reusable Air Transport
Rated for at least 100 round trips. Tested by Dayton T. Brown, an independent US lab.
Beyond the US standards. The same cases are also qualified to European and NATO defence standards, for example the German military standard VG 95 447, NATO AECTP 400 tracked-vehicle vibration, and UN hazardous-goods packaging type-tested under Germany's federal materials institute (BAM).
NATO Stock Numbers. ZARGES has supplied armed forces for decades. Many Mitraset®, K470 and K475 cases carry NATO Stock Numbers (NSNs) for ordering through the US supply system.
