More about us
• Desert Wolf has been active in the mobile solutions and stainless steel design and manufacturing industry since 1995
• We are Armscor approved and have delivered many successful projects to the SA Army, SA Special Forces, British Defense Force, United Nations and others
• We have a range of standard trailer-based products for a wide range of requirements ranging from mobile camps, kitchens and offices to high-end surveillance solutions
• We design, build, manage and integrate custom solutions based on your requirements

Vehicle-based Solutions
The solution to many requirements is a custom-designed vehicle, with special internal layout and power.
We design the entire solution based on your requirements. Any vehicle can be used, here are some examples of vehicles:

Vehicle-based Solutions
Complete conceptual design done in 3D CAD before any financial commitment is required

Trailer-based Solutions
• When lifecycle cost is taken into consideration, it often makes more sense to build a custom trailer to meet your needs rather than customise a vehicle.
• The reason for this is that vehicles typically needs replacement in a 3 – 5 year cycle due to mechanical wear and then the customisation is lost with the vehicle
• With a well-designed trailer the customisation is long lasting and as tow vehicles are replaced there is no need to re-invest into the customisation of the vehicle.

Design and System Integration Capability
• At Desert Wolf we understand that customers are interested in fully integrated, functional solutions that meet their requirements completely.
• We place strong emphasis on the requirements and concept design phase of any project. We ensure that requirements are properly documented, understood and agreed before we proceed with modeling of concept solutions.
• This approach minimizes the risk for the customers as its is possible to finalize the complete design and integration before we proceed with manufacturing.

Past Projects – Mobile Control Room
• This project is currently taking the industry by storm with huge local and international interest.
• The customer is the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality and was done in collaboration with our strategic partner Afrisec
• As part of the project a converted Mercedes Sprinter with advanced thermal image night vision equipment and 9 mobile surveillance trailers delivered in October 2010.

Completely Customized Interior
• In this case 4 screen and seating for 2 people
• Critical equipment hidden in separate compartment

Past Projects – Command & Control
• Custom Design Command
and Control trailer and tent
combination. Air-deployable
with helicopter sling recovery
• This is an example of a
communications systems
that can be equipped with
any type of communications
equipment.
• Customers: Special Forces
and Central Joint Ops
www.desert-wolf.com
Past Projects – Mobile Satellite Communications
• Another example of a custom mobile solution with high-
technology communications equipment and mobile satellite
capability
• Customers: SA Army Signal Corps
www.desert-wolf.com
Past Projects – Mobile Generators
• An example of mobile power
solutions. In addition to this
we have also done large
solar power trailers with fold-
out solar panels and
batteries and wind generator
trailers
• These specific 75KVA mobile
power plants were for
Central Joint Ops, but we
have supplied units up to
250KVA

Emergency Rescue Units
• A range of trailers with easy
side access and custom
shelving – very popular for
medical and emergency
rescue units
• Customers include various
municipalities, the SA Police
Service and others
www.desert-wolf.com
Past Projects – Mobile Surveillance
• We have supplied mobile surveillance trailers with masts up to 30m with mast payloads up to 400kg. These trailers are used for surveillance of perimeters, special events and other applications all over the world.

Water, Diesel and AVGas Tankers
• Desert Wolf has a range of 500l, 1000l and 2000l tankers
• All tankers with baffles for towing stability
• All stainless steel
• Optional pumps and flow meters
• Customers have been Central Joint Ops, SA Police, etc.

Past Projects – Custom Tents
Vehicles and trailers often require
custom tents to extend and
weatherproof the work area
forming part of the solution. We
design and manufacture custom
tents from special nylon rip-stop
material that is light, mould-
resistant and super strong.

Past Project – Custom Tents
Our tents designs are also design and modeled on 3D CAD, giving
you the ability to finalise the design and ensure it matches the
vehicle or trailer.

Radar – recommended use
• Border and covert surveillance
• Monitor private & unattended airfields
• Marine and coastline surveillance
• Inland lakes and waterways
• Battlefield surveillance
• Perimeter protection
• Movement detection
• Naval
www.desert-wolf.com
Radar – modes of operation
• 360°Continuous scanning
Used for continuous air and
surface surveillance
Simultaneously optimized for both
air and surface targets
• High resolution sector scan
Used for detection, recognition
and identification of surface-based
and slow-moving low-level air targets

Radar - Operational & performance characteristics
Parameter Specification
• Operating frequency range X Band (700 MHz
• instantaneous BW)
• Modulation type LFMCW
• Instrumented range Variable up to 60 km
• Minimum Range <= 10 m
• Range accuracy From < 1 to 8 m
• Beam width 0.6°
• Azimuth accuracy 1°
• Range resolution 6 to 20 m
• Average transmitted RF power < 20 W (43 dBm)
www.desert-wolf.com
Radar - Fully coherent
The fundamental feature of a fully coherent radar is that all signals are derived at low level and the output device serves only as an amplifier, with significantly higher accuracy . All the signals are generated by one master timing source.
Fully coherent radars exhibit none of the drawbacks of pseudo-coherent radars.
The proposed radar is a member of a family of FMCW radar sensors;
• It provides excellent resolution and dynamic extended range capabilities;
• Detection of small, fast moving targets at extended range
• It is optimized for coastal surveillance applications;
• It has a fully coherent processor, providing exceptional performance in all weather conditions;
• It can provide similar or better performance than a magnetron based surveillance radar;
• Its flexible architecture allow for software upgrades to install other radar modes that are provided by the rest of the family of radars.

Fully integrated control system combines
•Radar
•Forward looking infrared
•High resolution day camera
•Multilayer area maps
www.desert-wolf.com
Advanced StealthRad TM
•StealthRad™ delivers range
resolution that exceeds that obtainable from typical magnetronradars.
• StealthRad™ delivers range
resolution up to 2.5 meter (16 ns)
• This is achieved with full power illuminating the target
• In conjunction with excellent dynamic range, this allow the detection of very small vessels next to large vessels
