Measurement Equipment for Defense and Security Fleets

Mixed fleets, long-term maintenance of equipment, off-site service calls: Capelec designs and manufactures robust, deployable, and traceable measurement equipment in France to keep your vehicles in optimal operating condition.

Diverse fleets, a need for availability

Defense and security vehicle fleets consist of a wide variety of equipment: light liaison vehicles, heavy-duty logistics trucks, specialized vehicles, armored vehicles, and older equipment kept in service for extended periods.

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. Measurement equipment must remain operational and maintainable over the long term and be compatible with different generations of vehicles.

Traceability of inspections

Recording measurements, dating them, and linking them to an identified vehicle is an integral part of maintaining operational readiness.

Field service calls

Safety systems such as brakes and lights can be tested using mobile equipment, and emissions can be measured using combined gas and smoke analyzers—a flexibility that is essential when a vehicle cannot be brought to a fixed testing facility.

Measuring Wherever the Vehicle Is

This is the key feature of these fleets: the testing equipment must be deployable. Decelerometers for braking efficiency, portable headlight adjusters for lighting, and handheld units for emissions testing.

The design and manufacture of our equipment in France, along with our in-house development of software and electronic circuit boards, facilitate the customizations that these projects sometimes require.

Projects Tailored to Your Technical Departments

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 offering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can vehicles be inspected outside of a fixed workshop?

Yes. The CAP CHRONO 10510 mobile inspection line, mounted on a truck and self-contained thanks to its generator, can be deployed to remote locations. The CAP9500 decelerometer and the portable CAP3550 O opacimeter round out the mobile equipment.

Is the equipment suitable for armored vehicles?

Several Capelec devices are compatible with armored vehicles, such as the CAP9110 brake tester and the CAP2500 and CAP2600 headlight aimers. Compatibility is verified based on the vehicle fleet to be serviced.

Can the equipment be adapted to meet the requirements of a program?

Designed and manufactured in France, with in-house development of software and electronic circuit boards: Capelec can adapt its equipment to the technical requirements and procurement frameworks specific to the sector.

How can we ensure the traceability of inspections?

Measurements are included in reports and can be recorded and linked to a specific vehicle, which is an integral part of maintaining the vehicle in operational condition.
