SWEETWATER™ SW and XP system designs suit the commercial market and are upgradeable to incorporate the specific needs of military and defense applications. Our staff has the experience with government programs to properly evaluate the requirements and transform them into the processes and materials resulting is a successful project result.  Exstar uses what we call our LARs approach to design solutions – Light, Agile and Reliable. Using COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) parts where feasible and allowed brings product to fruition within budget and on time. In our continuing effort to reduce the life cycle costs of RO systems Exstar provides electronic control packages to automate normal operation and alert the operators to system anomalies or queue preventive maintenance actions.  Buss communications enable system monitoring from engine room to the bridge. All automatic controls would have redundancy when required by the customer and provide manual override for emergency operation.
