The problem
A sensor can remain powered and calibrated while cold, shock, ice, cable forces, or lost preload corrupt the mounting path between the vehicle and the measurement.

METIS
A sensor mount designed to detect when extreme cold, impact, or ice compromises the mechanical connection a vehicle sensor depends on.

The interactive model loads as you approach it.
What we built
Rolu Labs worked with an Arctic defence client to define the product, mechanical architecture, operating logic, failure scenarios, assembly procedures, and verification gates for METIS Rev C4.3. The design separates precision measurement from weather, cable, service, and overload loads.
What we delivered
The program delivered a defined design envelope, material and component selections, detailed CAD architecture, simulation screening, and a staged hardware-verification plan. Assembly and calibration procedures connect the mechanical design to the planned test program.
Full design and integration details remain confidential because the work relates to Canadian Arctic sovereignty.Next case studyMechanical Evidence Engine↗
