The defence industry requires highly specialized and extremely reliable weighing and force measurement systems for critical applications ranging from weapon testing and calibration to structural analysis of vehicles and equipment. Key applications include measuring the thrust and recoil force of jet engines and rocket motors, ballistic testing (measuring the impact force of projectiles), proof-loading and structural certification of military vehicles, aircraft, and Armor plating, and precise fuel/payload weighing for aircraft and ships. Due to the extreme environmental and dynamic conditions, the industry relies on ruggedized, high-frequency, and temperature-compensated load cells, predominantly Canister (Column) Load Cells and Pancake (Low-Profile) Load Cells for measuring immense static and dynamic compression forces, and S-Beam Load Cells for tension and recoil applications. These load cells are connected to sophisticated, high-speed Data Acquisition Systems (DAS) or specialized Dynamic Force Integrators that can sample and record force data at thousands of cycles per second, ensuring precise analysis of high-impact or transient events vital for safety, performance validation, and compliance with stringent military standards.
