This exceptional U.S. military base is one of the Army’s most important training sites, offering its soldiers a range of unique specialties to learn about – including ordnance. In times gone by, the historic weapons used in this training were stored across multiple locations – but new technology has allowed us to consolidate these artifacts into a single facility for improved preservation and an immersive educational experience for 8-10,000 ordnance trainees each year.
Our team was asked to create a classroom with active and historic armories that met safety requirements – so we came up with an ingenious solution! Our UWR® (Universal Weapons Rack) Storage system formed the perfect fit for their space and securely housed all weapons; 4-Post shelving units complete with frame doors, glass windows, locks and LED lighting activated by a single switch sealed the deal!
The secure and visible UWR® cabinets provide a perfect storage solution for historic weapons. When classes are held in the room, staff open the doors, lock the glass enclosures and illuminate the space to create an environment with full visibility of all stored items. To accomplish security requirements after each training session, personnel close and lock the UWR® doors. This installation is one of the Army’s most extensive training sites, where soldiers can learn about cutting-edge technology as well as historical arms and equipment. Previously, these ancient weapons were scattered over several locations; however, our new facility has successfully consolidated them into a single area for increased preservation conditions, expediency within operations, and improved educational experiences for 8-10 thousand ordnance personnel who attend yearly sessions at this base.
