Every defence application comes with unique challenges – from space constraints inside armoured vehicles to the need for rugged reliability in harsh operational environments. At Cable Controls, we know one-size-fits-all solutions simply don’t work in this sector.
Our engineering team partners with retrofit contractors, OEMs, and international agencies to design control systems tailored to exact specifications. Whether replacing ageing components or developing cables for new defence platforms, we deliver solutions that integrate seamlessly while meeting stringent safety and compliance standards.
With in-house CAD design, rapid prototyping and rigorous testing, we can adapt stroke lengths, adjust mounting points, or recommend protective sheathing to ensure long service life under battlefield conditions. We also advise on material choices to withstand vibration, temperature extremes and exposure to dust or moisture, ensuring reliable performance where failure is not an option.
From Morse and Bowden cables to advanced Maxx Control systems, every assembly is engineered to perform under pressure. Our collaborative approach means we work closely with engineers and procurement teams, turning complex requirements into robust, ready-to-deploy components.
At Cable Controls, custom design means faster development, better fit and dependable performance, keeping defence vehicles mission-ready and operational wherever they’re deployed.
