ACE Type Shelter

ACE-II Shelter

ACE-II shelters, compared to ACE-I, offer a larger interior volume and are designed for the integration of medium-sized electronic systems. They provide ample space for rack-type equipment, data processing systems, and power distribution infrastructure, creating a balanced solution in terms of both equipment capacity and maintenance access for mobile operations.

Technical Specifications

External Dimensions (L×W×H)4250 × 2200 × 2075 mm
Internal Dimensions (L×W×H)4085 × 2035 × 1885 mm
Total Weight4500 kg
Load Capacity3600 kg

ACE-II Shelter is the mid-size variant of the NATO Air-Conditioned Environment family. Depending on configuration, it provides interior volume for 4 to 8 personnel or several electronic equipment racks simultaneously, making it a common choice for communications centres, signals intelligence and mid-tier command and control posts. The Ozben Defence ACE-II platform is designed in line with NATO STANAG 2413 and manufactured at our Ankara production facility.

Key Features

  • Mid-size interior layout

    Typically around 20 to 30 m³, allowing personnel workstations, electronic rack rows and free movement corridors.

  • High-capacity HVAC

    Cooling and heating package sized to absorb the thermal load of the electronic equipment.

  • CBRN filtration compatibility

    Optional positive-pressure collective protection mode.

  • EMI/EMC shielding

    MIL-STD-461G-compliant shielding package for electronic warfare and signals intelligence configurations.

  • LED lighting with normal and tactical (blackout) modes.
  • Cable management and rack infrastructure

    19-inch equipment racks with data and power penetrations.

Construction

The sandwich-panel shell uses an aluminium or steel outer skin with a low-thermal-conductivity core. Doors, windows and cable penetrations are gasket-sealed. The floor is designed for rack loads and personnel circulation; an optional seismic isolation package protects sensitive equipment from vibration. Transport can be configured for a ground vehicle, trailer or ISO-compatible platform.

International Standards

  • NATO STANAG 2413

    Mobile shelter design requirements.

  • NATO STANAG 4447

    Collective protection with optional CBRN protection.

  • MIL-STD-810H

    Environmental endurance testing.

  • MIL-STD-461G

    Electromagnetic compatibility.

Applications

  • Communications centre and mid-tier command and control post.
  • Electronic warfare and signals intelligence operator cabin.
  • Radar and air defence system operator console.
  • Mobile data processing and situational tracking centre.
  • Field medical station, laboratory and imaging units.

Configuration and RFQ

The final dimensions, HVAC capacity, interior layout and integrated subsystems of the ACE-II are defined project by project based on the integrated electronic load, number of personnel workstations, transport platform and site environmental conditions. The Özben engineering team runs the full process, from concept design through site acceptance testing, and follows project progress as a single point of contact.
