At Universal Air & Gas Products Corporation (UAPC), reliability and safety are always front and center. Since 1962, our company has supported military and defense organizations with air and gas systems that perform under the toughest conditions. From base operations to field deployments, UAPC delivers dependable compressed air and breathing air solutions that help keep personnel safe and missions on track.
Supporting Defense Operations Worldwide
Defense operations depend on a consistent, high-quality air supply. UAPC’s breathing air compressors and related systems are built to deliver clean, pressurized air wherever it’s needed — whether on land, at sea, or in the air. Discharge pressures are available from 100 to 6,000 psig.
At military bases and maintenance facilities, our air compressors for breathing air support ground crews, maintenance personnel, and safety teams working in enclosed or contaminated environments. In naval and marine operations, UAPC systems supply clean air for shipboard life-support systems, diving operations, and emergency response situations.
Our breathing air compressor units are also used in mobile and field-ready setups. These compact systems provide safe, breathable air during rapid deployments or mission-critical scenarios where reliability cannot fail. Every system is designed with efficiency and ease of maintenance in mind, helping defense teams stay ready under any condition.
Defense-Grade Breathing Air Systems
UAPC builds breathing air compressors that meet strict defense and safety requirements. These systems deliver clean, contaminant-free air using oil-free or filtered designs to maintain air purity at all times. They’re available in both stationary and portable configurations, with pressure ratings that handle everything from light-duty maintenance work to high-pressure breathing air applications.
Each breathing air compressor system can be paired with air filtration, drying, and monitoring components to guarantee consistent performance. We also integrate controls that make operation simple, whether through manual or automated setups. These systems are engineered to perform reliably in extreme environments — from desert bases to naval decks.
Air Quality and Safety Compliance
Military operations demand clean, breathable air that meets the highest standards. UAPC’s air compressors for breathing air are built to comply with OSHA, MIL-SPEC, and ISO air quality requirements. Each system removes oil vapors, carbon monoxide, moisture and particulates to deliver air that meets or exceeds safety thresholds.
Our systems are equipped with continuous air monitoring and alarms to maintain safe operation. This level of performance gives military and defense organizations confidence that their personnel are breathing clean, safe air no matter where they’re stationed.
Custom and Turnkey Systems for Defense
UAPC offers fully packaged breathing air compressor systems built for field use, remote bases, and shipboard installations. Systems can be containerized, trailer-mounted, or installed as fixed units depending on operational needs. Each package can include purification modules, storage tanks, and control systems — everything ready for immediate use.
We provide complete support from system design to installation and maintenance. Our technicians also offer on-site training, so operators can manage and service each breathing air compressor system safely and efficiently.
For defense contractors and government agencies, UAPC’s turnkey approach means simplified logistics and a single point of contact for equipment and service.
Built for Reliability
Every UAPC breathing air compressor system is built for durability and consistent performance. These systems operate under extreme heat, cold, humidity, or salt exposure without interruption. Low maintenance requirements and rugged construction help extend service life, while redundant safety systems keep air flowing even during demanding operations.
