Leroy-Somer® and Kato Engineering provide power generation expertise and solutions to the Military.

Military expertise

Today's world can be a dangerous place. That is why defense forces around the globe must always be ready to respond. From military ships to aircraft, Leroy-Somer and KATO™ generators are providing main, auxiliary and emergency power to the World’s militaries.

As an example, Kato Engineering's naval vessel applications run the gamut from pulse generators for aircraft launching platforms, standby units for critical shipboard power needs and continuous duty machines for main vessel power. KATO™ shipboard generators feature high-shock bearings and a rugged frame to absorb and dissipate the sea's punishing forces. The US Navy proves these claims in rugged shock tests (download video file) prior to accepting KATO™ generators as a standard.
