Will-Burt Germany provides high-quality mobile mast systems and trailer solutions for military and security / rescue forces. They are used around the world: the armed forces of Germany, its NATO allies and other likeminded nations. Will-Burt Germany has progressively turned into a global player with subsidiaries and partners on every continent.

The object of Will-Burt Germany is the development, project planning, construction and system integration of our customized trailer systems. We carry out and follow your plan from A to Z. Special trailers for special tasks are our specialty. Many of our trailers are manufactured in small series. They are used by the German Army and other international forces. Our trailer systems are especially designed for missions involving extraordinary burdens in extreme and arduous terrain. High payloads in combination with low basic weights, maximum cross-country mobility, long life expectancy and low maintenance requirements are the characteristics of all Will-Burt Germany tactical trailers.

Our mast systems are used by international forces around the globe, including the German Army, to provide communications, surveillance, reconnaissance support etc. throughout the battlefield.

The Expedition series (Ranger mast) is the lightest, most durable, rapid deploying, single man-portable field masts in the world. This system is equipped with lightweight payloads and can be deployed quickly by extending 1.2m sections to heights from 2.5m to a maximum of 18.3m. It’s our system for the ‘last mile’.

The AntennaMast AM2 model is a portable, lightweight, rugged, aluminum tripod mast designed for rapid payload deployment. The AM2 can raise multiple devices on an individual mast and is highly flexible and reliable. Users can lift and lower larger payloads in a secure way without disassembling the mast system by using the EZ Raze™ system and its safety brake and cable winching device. The mast tube lift winch supplies mechanical assistance for mast tube lifting for heavier payloads, and the mast tubes and payload can also be elevated by breach loading the tubes through the tripod center collar.

Telescopic crank masts KVL and KVR (also called cable pulls) are for payloads up to 70kg and heights up to 20m. They are suited for heavy communication systems, monitoring solutions, direction finder, target detection systems, etc. and used by the market leaders. These masts uphold their reputation through their robustness and simple operation. The extension and retraction of this mast type is realized through a retractable rope and a separate return rope. This guarantees a reliable operation independent of the weather conditions.

The Spindle mast SPM is currently the best available mast system on the market. Grown against the hardest requirements, the SPM is specifically designed for use with large payloads and very high demands of accuracy. The retracting and extension occur through special spindle systems. A special honing procedure of the aluminum tubes and the use of high-precision spindles enables the manufacturing of nearly backlash-free telescopic spindle masts for heights up to 18m and payloads up to 600kg!

The spectrum of lattice towers starts with the ITS Towers. ITS offers an innovative line of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) tower solutions from 11.5m to 32m. Will-Burt Germany lattice towers are customized solutions, mounted on trucks or trailers, for heights up to 45m and payloads up to 1000kg. Our giants!

The Will-Burt Company is pleased to introduce the One Company initiative, a program designed to ensure that we operate as One Team, guided by One Vision, representing One Brand – Will-Burt. This initiative formalizes our way of thinking and our passion to serve our customers. It was created to make it easier for our clients to engage with Will-Burt, no matter where they are or whomever they communicate with in our global organization. All locations have been renamed Will-Burt followed by their geographic location. For instance, GEROH, located in Germany, has been renamed Will-Burt Germany Gmbh & Co. KG. Company web sites will be consolidated under www.willburt.com and the GEROH social media platforms will be renamed Will-Burt Germany.

At Mobile Mark, we understand that military requirements are different, that the antennas will be used in difficult environments and need to be ready for squad deployments, pop-up stations, or communications intelligence-gathering (COMINT).  That’s why our antennas are rugged, durable and reliable.

Mobile Mark  - Military Antennas

We handle the usual and the unusual, from standard products to specialty products. Think if it as “COTS with flexibility”. We offer all the convenience and cost savings of off-the-shelf products but with the ability to tweak the design to better meet your in-the-field requirements.

We have antennas for many commercially available wireless networks as well as antennas for dedicated military frequencies, such as 1350 MHz or 4.4 GHz. Our antennas are designed and manufactured in the United States.

Our in-house Engineering Design Team has years of experience in antenna design.  We can supplement your own engineering efforts and be a valued RF sounding board.  We can help you envision all sorts of ways the antennas can be used, including break-apart omnis and embedded, body-worn patches.

Mobile Mark military antennas comply with Mil specs such as MIL-810G. Our antennas are designed and tested in our in-house facilities located in the US, just outside Chicago.

Mobile Mark offers more than just a wide range of antenna designs, we offer the company behind the antennas: knowledgeable, easy to work with, and ready to be your antenna partner.

visit www.mobilemark.com for our full product line.

Network Antennas (OD-BA, PS18-4900-45, SCR-2400/5500)

Mobile Mark offers omni-directional site antennas in military appropriate colors such as olive drab and desert sand.  Specialized antennas to speed network deployment include the 12 dBi Break-Apart Antenna that can collapse down into two easy-to-carry pieces.  We also offer low profile, compact directional antennas for dependable point-to-point connections.

Embedded Antennas (EM, CVL, PM-1350)

For specialized applications where it is important to track the individual soldier, embedding the antenna directly in the troop’s equipment or clothing has many advantages… and tradeoffs.  We can help you understand what you gain and what you lose with different antenna styles.  Our expertise includes board-only styles as well as slim profile over-molded styles.

Asset Tracking Antennas
(HD7-915, RM w/ Groundplane Rods, SM-U15)

Reliable asset management requires making use of multiple systems: RFID tag readers, Wi-Fi based Bar Code scanning, GPS location systems as well as Cellular M2M (machine-to-machine) transmissions.  Mobile Mark can help you put together the right mix of antennas from site to mobile to covert.

Vehicle Antennas (LTM501, SMW-305, SMD-W)

Mobile antenna selection becomes complicated as new wireless protocols, such as LTE and 802.11ac, are added to the network.  Mobile Mark is the industry leader in multiband antennas; we can combine multiple antenna solutions in a single compact, durable package.  Our mobile antennas meet Military specs for Shock, Vibration, Temperature and Water Ingress.

Specialized Frequencies (ECO9-4700, PSTN2-2200, RMM-1400)

Sometimes a COTS antenna just needs to be tweaked to cover a different frequency or to provide a different radiation pattern.  And, sometimes, the need is so unique that nothing but a customer design will do the job.  Mobile Mark’s team of design engineers can handle it all, whether the design requirement is electrical or mechanical.

Iveco Defence Vehicles is a brand of CNH Industrial N.V., a World leader in Capital Goods listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CNHI) and on the Mercato Telematico Azionario of the Borsa Italiana (MI: CNHI). Iveco Defence Vehicles is dedicated to delivering innovative automotive and protection solutions to meet the needs of military customers worldwide.

The company manufactures specialist logistic, protected and armoured vehicles in its facility in Bolzano in Northern Italy, as well as marketing Iveco's full commercial range, adapted as necessary to meet the demands of the military user. In consequence, Iveco Defence Vehicles has a full range of vehicles to meet a broad spectrum of defence applications.

Iveco Defence Vehicles has a full range of vehicles to meet a broad spectrum of defence applications.

Modular Designs Provide Outstanding Mobility,
Protection and Payload

Iveco DV’s range of Multirole Vehicles, Tactical and Logistic Trucks, and Armoured Fighting Vehicles covers the full spectrum of on- and off-road military requirements and represents a well thought through, comprehensive and effective response to the needs of the military customer.

Iveco DV’s engineers have exploited the modular approach adopted in our commercial range to provide direct benefits to the military user.  This philosophy allows the solution to be tuned as closely as possible to the identified needs of the user without time-consuming re-engineering.

The whole product range is subjected to a continuous development process under which evolving needs are fed back to our engineers, who, in turn, develop a steady stream of enhancements in terms of payload, mobility and protection.

SUPERAV – A New Generation of Amphibious Armoured Vehicles

Iveco has developed the 25-tonnes SUPERAV 8x8 Medium Armoured Vehicles family specifically to undertake amphibious operations.  All variants share the same innovative multi-layered hull design.  This approach combines advanced materials with leading edge technologies, and provides exceptional levels of vehicle and crew survivability without compromising amphibious performance. Thanks to its modularity and the ease with which it can be reconfigured, the SUPERAV 8x8 can be air-transportable, is capable of maritime operation beyond Sea State 3, and can mount weapons up to 30mm calibre.

The Centauro 8x8 Armoured Vehicle Family

The 26 - 30 tonnes combat proven Centauro family of wheeled 8x8 armoured vehicles is designed for land operation and can be adapted to meet a wide variety of roles.  Many variants are already available, and, of these, the Centauro 120mm MGS ‘tank-on-wheels’ is today’s fastest and lightest vehicle equipped with a 120mm gun – and the only wheeled one existing.  This vehicle is also available mounting a 105mm gun.

The Centauro VBM Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) and Armoured Infantry Fighting Vehicle (AIFV) feature a hull specifically designed to maximise crew survivability. With an inner volume of about 11m3, the AIFV is equipped with a 25/30mm two-man turret and can accommodate a driver and 8 fully equipped dismounts, while the APC offers 14 m3 and can carry up to 12 dismounts.

The Centauro family is offered through CIO Iveco – Oto Melara, a joint venture with Oto Melara of Italy who are responsible for providing the turret systems.

Multirole and Mission-Adaptable Vehicles

Iveco has focused on the development of multirole platforms which are capable of fulfilling a range of applications.  Characterised by their exceptional mobility, agility and terrain accessibility, and their high levels of protection against both ballistic and mine attack, this range of vehicles is based on two platforms – the Light Mulitrole Vehicle (LMV) and the Medium Protected Vehicle (MPV).  With a wide variety of configurations already developed, they are equally effective on peacekeeping, counter insurgency and war fighting missions.

Light Multirole Military Vehicle

The LMV is a purpose built military vehicle which nonetheless benefits from the use of many commercial components.  Rugged and highly mobile, it is based on a modular design which enables the development of a wide range of variants with differing wheelbases, roofs, crew cell configurations and protection levels.  This modularity accommodates many configurations, most recently, a special forces variant.  The LMV is rapidly becoming the light protected vehicle of choice in Europe, with sales to nine armies to date.

Medium Protected Vehicle (MPV)

The multirole approach is also seen in the MPV which Iveco has developed in partnership with KMW.  To meet the demand for heavily protected utility and multipurpose vehicles able to provide high levels of ballistic, mine and IED protection, the new 4 x 4 MPV family occupies the mission space between the LMV and the Centauro 8 × 8 AFV family.

In order to produce a reliable, rugged, well protected vehicle with a class leading payload, Iveco took the decision to exploit its highly successful Trakker chassis.  Innovative well informed engineering coupled with a class leading commercial chassis has delivered a well protected, adaptable vehicle with high mobility at a cost far below that of bespoke military vehicles.

A Logistic Capability for both Protected
and Unprotected Applications

One of the characteristics of current operations is that there is no front line.  In recognition of this, Iveco Defence Vehicles has developed a class leading protected cab which can be fitted to Iveco’s heavy duty 6×6 and 8×8 Trakker chassis.  The result is a robust, highly mobile but cost effective logistic vehicle which can operate even in high threat areas.

The modular design of the Trakker range provides a choice of a wide range of wheelbases and drive trains, all of which are supportable through the Iveco dealer network.  This enables Iveco to provide a highly versatile, exceptionally well protected logistic fleet to meet a wide range of demanding roles.

Purpose Designed Military Trucks
for Specific Operational Requirements

IVECO Defence Vehicles also offers a full range of battle proven, powerful and capable 4×4, 6×6 and 8×8 purpose designed military logistic vehicles to provide tactical support to any military operation in the most hostile environmental conditions.  The vehicles can be fitted with a cab which allows them to be airportable in a C130.

The whole range can be equipped with a new generation of add on armour kit, achieving a unique combination of performance, payload and protection to support any military operation in the most hostile environmental conditions.

• Reduced downtime
• Lower energy costs
• Longer equipment life
• Bottom line: more profit

Our Manufacturing Facility:
Starting with advanced equipment used in our facility enables us to blend our products to specifications, and then fill some of the smallest bottles available to larger containers, such as drums and tote bins. We can also process special bulk requests.

Our Products:
MPC’s lubrication technology is based on Tribologic methods that improve lubricity and load carrying capacity by improving surface characteristics and creating a stable, chemical, corrosion-controlled, halide boundary film. The keystone of Muscles product line is MT-10 Metal Treatment, a blend of highly refined oils and proprietary additives that contain no solid lubricants, chlorinated solvents or phosphate compounds. It’s active to provide five mechanisms of improvement.

• Advanced chemical boundary film formation through reactive chemical bonding.
• Ring opening, oxirane acid scavenging and advanced corrosion inhibition.
• Organo-metallic substitution of surface metal and free radical reactionaries.
• Improved surface smoothness and rolling out of irregular contacting asperities.
• Re-hardening and latticular reconstruction of initial contacting metal surfaces.

Military Lubricants, Additives and Greases

Firepower FP-10™

Firepower is the ultimate lube in complete care of firearms, weapons and weapon systems. Firepower FP-10 possesses exceptional properties for an all-in-one firearms maintenance product. Firepower cleans the weapon, removes lead and copper, lubricates, guards against extreme pressure and wear, plus protects lubed surfaces from corrosion.

Many semiautomatic and full-automatic weapons will dysfunction after periods of fire sufficient to build up and transfer high heat to the receiver and its moving parts.
Two examples are Heckler & Koch’s MP5 submachine gun and Barrett Firearms’ M992A1 .50 caliber semiautomatic. Both models have a tendency to dysfunction after sufficient heat is generated through firing while using conventional lubricants. If Firepower FP-10 is applied, no dysfunctions associated with lubricity and tolerance change will occur. Feeding and extraction problems in the Remington 870 shotguns will also be rectified from the use of Firepower FP-10.
