BlueSky Mast Portable Grounding Solutions

Providing Troop Safety and Military Class Grounding

Executive Summary

“We found the BlueSky Standard Mast capable of adequately conducting lightning strikes by comparison of the physical parameters of the mast to widely used industry lightning protection standards.”

“The BlueSky radial mast grounding system (Part Number: BST2-K-L104-BSM-000) was evaluated and found to be superior in establishing a low impedance earth ground. Testing, using traditional low-frequency and novel high-frequency techniques validates this conclusion.”

BlueSky Mast Surface Wire Ground Kit

The BlueSky Mast Surface Wire Ground Kit was developed in order to provide a filed expedient solution to grounding that could be easily deployed multiple times without sacrificing any degradation in performance.

The BlueSky Surface Wire Ground Kit can be easily deployed in areas where ground conditions do not permit the use of ground rods and still provide “a lower resistance ground than the 6-foot ground rod.”

With the BlueSky Grounding System, troop safety and sensitive electronics no longer need to be put in harms way simply for the sake of speed and mobility.
