MILSPEC Alternators
Starting out with just one client, our first product was our 100A alternator. From there we have worked hard to become the premier designer and manufacturer of brushless alternators and portable power systems for defence forces across the world, offering an extensive range of alternators from 120 - 900 amps. With over 15,000 Milspec alternators in the Australian Defence Force alone, this is a testament to our ability to consistently delivery quality, on-time products, with a commitment to continuous development.

Permanent Magnet AlternatorsVehicle alternators were first used by the military from WWII to power radio equipment on specialist vehicles. Post-war, other vehicles with high electrical demands, such as ambulances and radio taxis, could also be fitted with optional alternators. These alternators used brushed inductor alternator technology.
Post WWII brushless alternators were developed delivering improved reliability and longer life. Both brushed and brushless inductor alternator technology require vehicle revs to create output, typically producing 60 to 100 amps at vehicle idle. As the vehicle rev range increases so does the alternator output. Most military vehicles continue to use this technology and most defence forces struggle with the availability of amps at vehicle idle.
Milspec has developed a range of permanent magnet alternators that solves the power requirements at vehicle idle. Permanent magnet alternators deliver instant power availability. Milspec’s permanent magnet alternators deliver 400-800Amps at idle. As a result, all battle systems can then be active at idle.
• 90% of Amps at vehicle idle: 400Amps-800Amps.• 85% efficiency (world leading efficiency levels.)• IP67: water ingress protection to 1 metre.
Compliant to:
• Mil STD 461: electro-magnetic defence capability standard.• Mil STD 810: environmental military standard.• Mil STD 1275: voltage capability standard for military vehicles.
If you require 400-900 amps at vehicle idle Milspec has the solution!

Inductor Alternators
Milspec formed in April 2002 as a result of a management buyout of Australian Defence Industries Live Fire Target Systems design & manufacturing capability. As part of this management buyout Milspec gained the IP for a number of military grade alternators that were developed in conjunction with the US, Canadian and UK defence forces as part of a collaborative partnership to minimise vehicle component variations. Australia has been involved in the seamless production of military grade alternators since the 1970’s.
From those early days Milspec have taken that base line technology and developed a full range of alternators for military vehicles. Today Milspec offers a range of inductor alternators from 120 amps to 360 amps.
The development of stator winding technology and electro-magnet strength has allowed Milspec to create market leading alternators delivering world class output/kg and output/cubic meter. This performance from our inductor alternator range is replicated and enhanced through our complete range of permanent magnet alternators.
Compliant to:
• Mil STD 461: electro-magnetic defence capability standard.• Mil STD 810: environmental military standard.• Mil STD 1275: voltage capability standard for military vehicles.
If you require 120-360 amps at vehicle idle Milspec has the solution!

In 2004 Milspec was approached by Thales to develop a 300A alternator for the Bushmaster vehicle to replace the current 100A unit.
Working closely with Thales, our alternator was designed and developed around exact requirements. Trials were conducted in the vehicle for EMC, temperature and reliability, proving that we were able to design and develop an alternator that fit into the confines available, our alternator was selected for the highly successful Bushmaster vehicle.
Given the success of our alternator in the Bushmaster, Navistar assessed our unit during the process of identifying a suitable alternator for their Husky vehicle. Navistar found that our unit was the worlds smallest military spec alternator in their capacity range. Our 300A alternator was selected by Navistar to be installed in their Husky vehicle.
Our 300A alternator is now in service with at least a dozen armed forces worldwide, with more than 1000 units of different variants in service in the Australian Defence Force.
The success of our 300A alternator has allowed us to develop our range of permanent magnet and inductor alternators to extend up to a 900A alternator. Contact Milspec today to see how we can work with you to develop an alternator to suit your needs.

300A Air Cooled Alternator
The Milspec 300A alternator has been in use in both Australian and International Defence Forces, and is currently installed and in service on the highly successful Thales Bushmaster and Navistar Husky vehicles. Manufactured and tested in-house to meet standards Mil STD461, Mil STD 810, and Mil STD 1275, our alternators are lighter than competitors and feature a double seal on the ball bearing, increasing the life span to 11,000hrs.

360A Air Cooled Cooled Alternator
Our 360A water cooled alternator allows the retrofit of an existing water-cooled system to the high output Milspec 360 amp unit. The technology has evolved from our highly reliable 300A air cooled unit. The fully sealed water jacket allows this unit to run up to 360 Amps with a maximum water inlet temperature of 95 degrees celsius. Using SAE J180 vehicle mount system this unit is compatible with multiple military vehicle applications. Milspec will work with you and your team to configure your Engine in 3D CAD models to align the unit to your vehicle requirements.
