Mission-Critical Undercarriage Parts for the Defence Sector
Astrak supports defence OEMs and specialist vehicle manufacturers with engineered undercarriage and track solutions for tracked military platforms, remote-controlled vehicles and autonomous ground systems.
The focus is on reliability, durability and integration support for mission-critical equipment operating in the most demanding environments. From manned armoured vehicles to unmanned ground systems, Astrak works closely with defence OEMs to deliver mobility solutions that perform under extreme load, terrain and operational conditions.
All components are manufactured in ISO 9001-certified facilities, with rigorous quality control and documentation standards aligned to defence procurement requirements.
Why Defence OEMs Partner with Astrak
- Quality Approved — all components manufactured in ISO 9001-certified facilities, with ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 27001 certifications supporting compliance and procurement requirements.
- Global Supply Capability — a multi-source global manufacturing footprint and resilient supply chain support long-term defence programmes with continuity of supply.
- Advanced Track & Undercarriage Systems — customisable track and undercarriage solutions with advanced material options, including Kevlar-reinforced constructions for performance.
Engineered Track & Undercarriage Systems
Astrak designs track and undercarriage components tailored to the performance, weight and durability requirements of modern military and security vehicles. Capabilities include:
- Bespoke track systems for manned, unmanned and remotely operated platforms.
- Steel and hybrid track designs engineered for defined load cases, ground pressures and duty cycles.
- Advanced materials, including Kevlar-reinforced constructions, for improved strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue life.
- Full integration support, enabling OEMs to incorporate Astrak systems into new or existing platforms without compromising programme ownership or IP.
Demining, Route Clearance & Hazardous Operations
Astrak supplies critical mobility components for specialist tracked vehicles operating in demining, route clearance and hazardous environments, where predictable wear life and consistent performance are essential.
The engineering team understands the demands of remotely operated platforms, low-profile high-stability designs, and conditions characterised by high shock, vibration and abrasive ground.
Autonomous & UGV Programmes
As defence platforms evolve toward autonomous and optionally manned systems, Astrak supports OEMs developing UGVs, tracked robotic platforms and modular vehicle designs requiring scalable undercarriage solutions.
Astrak engineers engage early in the design cycle to ensure mobility systems meet payload, endurance and control requirements, reducing development risk and accelerating time to deployment.
