Model BNP-18-000 Coolant Pump in the US Marine Corps' Shadow Reconnaissance, Surveillance & Targeting Vehicle (RST-V)
BN designed and produced a prototype dual-fluid electronics cooling pump for the US Marine Corps’ Shadow Reconnaissance, Surveillance & Targeting Vehicle (RST-V). The vehicle is equipped with a tightly packed array of communications hardware, optical and thermal sensors, and range finding equipment. This complex electronics package requires ethylene-glycol and oil coolants. In response to this requirement, Barber-Nichols designed a single pump with two impellers which minimizes weight, space, and electrical power consumption.

BN’s world-class engineering staff can help determine whether a prototype or modified pump will be most beneficial for your vehicle program. Barber-Nichols designed and produced lightweight, brushless DC at specified voltage or 400 Hz induction motors, air-cooled, liquid-cooled, mechanically sealed, and hermetically sealed pumps. Additionally, BN places a strong emphasis on Design for Manufacturability, because designing the cost out of a product results in a better, lower total cost product that meets the customer’s requirements and is easier to produce.
Barber-Nichols can provide a full range of services from in-depth engineering analysis of a prototype and System Design & Development (SDD) phases, to qualification program support, to Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) and production quantity manufacturing. If you need an expedited proof-of-concept unit for your technology demonstrator, allow us to create an optimized design to your specifications. Let Barber-Nichols provide an engineered solution for your demanding military vehicle needs.
