CloseMeasuring equipment for defence and security fleets
Mixed fleets, equipment maintained over the long term, off-site servicing: Capelec designs and manufactures robust, deployable and traceable measuring equipment in France to keep your vehicles in operational condition.
Defence and security vehicle fleets comprise a wide variety of equipment: light vehicles, heavy vehicles, specialised vehicles, armoured vehicles, and older equipment kept in service for the long term.
What they all have in common is a requirement for operational availability: a vehicle must be in good working order, and this condition must be verifiable, documented and retrievable.
A fleet maintained over the long term
These fleets retain their equipment well beyond standard service life cycles. Measuring equipment must remain operational and maintainable over the long term, and be capable of covering different generations of vehicles.
Traceability of inspections
Recording measurements, dating them and linking them to an identified vehicle is an integral part of maintaining vehicles in operational condition.
Off-site services
Safety systems such as braking and lighting can be tested using mobile equipment, whilst emissions are analysed using combined gas and smoke analysers — a level of flexibility that is essential when a vehicle cannot be taken to a fixed workshop.
This is the key feature of these fleets: the testing equipment must be deployable. Decelerometers for braking efficiency, portable headlamp beamsetters for lighting, and handheld units for emissions.
The fact that our equipment is designed and manufactured in France, combined with our in-house expertise in software and electronic circuit boards, facilitates the adaptations that these projects sometimes require.
Design office and factory together in Montpellier: you deal directly with the designer and manufacturer of your equipment, from design to maintenance. Equipment in use on every continent, with subsidiaries in Germany and India.

For inspecting vehicles wherever they are, or equipping fixed workshops.
Projects in this sector are subject to specific procurement frameworks and technical requirements. We approach them based on the fleet to be covered, the workshops involved and maintenance constraints, rather than through a standard offer.
Can vehicles be inspected outside a fixed workshop?
Yes. The CAP CHRONO 10510 mobile testing line, mounted on a lorry and self-contained thanks to its on-board generator, can be deployed at remote sites. The CAP9500 decelerometer and the portable CAP3550 O smoke meter complete the mobile equipment.
Is the equipment suitable for armoured vehicles?
Several Capelec devices are compatible with armoured vehicles, such as the CAP9110 brake tester and the CAP2500 and CAP2600 headlamp beamsetters. Compatibility is verified in relation to the fleet to be serviced.
Can the equipment be adapted to meet the requirements of a programme?
Designed and manufactured in France, with in-house expertise in software and electronic circuit boards: Capelec can adapt its equipment to the technical requirements and procurement frameworks specific to the sector.
How can the traceability of inspections be ensured?
Measurements are included in reports and can be recorded and linked to a specific vehicle, which forms an integral part of maintaining the vehicle in operational condition.
Tell us about the fleet to be covered, the workshops involved and your deployment constraints: we will work with you to build the right solution.
