Sea Air Space 2026 — April 19–22, National Harbor, MD
BNS is attending the Sea Air Space 2026 conference & trade show, the Navy League’s premier maritime exposition, held April 19–22, 2026 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. If you’re involved in U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, or allied shipbuilding programs — as a program office, prime contractor, shipyard, or systems integrator — we’d like to meet with you.
Proven in the fleet, not just on paper
BNS isn’t a new name on Navy and Coast Guard platforms. Our low and medium voltage switchboards, motor controllers, and control panels are in service across a wide range of vessels operating today — and every line of the product family is engineered from the same starting point: equipment that has to survive shock, vibration, saltwater, and combat conditions without losing operational integrity.
That’s the difference you’ll experience when you meet with us. Everything we do has been through the qualification rigor of MIL-spec, ABS Naval Vessel Rules, and marine classification — and every unit ships with the documentation package your program office expects.
What do we build?
Low Voltage Switchboards — Custom-designed 450V switchboards built to MIL-spec, ABS-NVR, and commercial marine specifications. Engineered for shipboard installation from the ground up.
Medium Voltage Switchgear — 6600V and 4160V switchgear with vibration-resistant, shock-qualified structures suitable for combatant and auxiliary platforms.
Motor Controllers — Full MIL-spec and marine motor controller line covering shipboard loads across pumps, fans, compressors, and mission-critical auxiliaries.
Group & Motor Control Centers — MCCs in a wide range of frame sizes, built around our marine-qualified motor control devices for dense propulsion-auxiliary and distribution applications.
Control & Relay Panels — Custom control and relay panels engineered to the specific class, hull, and system requirements of each platform.
Multi-Function Monitors — Custom monitoring and protection solutions for 450V ships’ electrical plants, giving crews real-time visibility into plant health and fault conditions.
Why meet with us
If you’re specifying, procuring, or integrating shipboard electrical distribution for a current or upcoming Navy or Coast Guard program, a 20-minute conversation at our booth can save months of drawing revisions and qualification surprises later. Our engineering team will be on the floor the entire show — bring your single-line diagrams, your load lists, your spec sheets, or just your open questions.
We’re happy to walk through:
- Fit, form, and function for specific hull classes and retrofit programs
- Qualification status against MIL-S-901, MIL-STD-167, MIL-DTL-917, and ABS-NVR
- Lead times, domestic content, and sourcing for current fiscal-year awards
- Custom engineering for non-standard loads, footprints, or environmental requirements
Request a meeting
Walk-ups are welcome, but slots fill fast. Request a meeting in advance and we’ll confirm a time that works around your show schedule.
