Abstract
A modular electronic housing system is provided, having a plurality of modules. Each module includes a plurality of bolt holes for attachment of various components and other modules, and a gasket interface for placement of gaskets for electromagnetic shielding or drip proof protection. The electronic housing further includes a removable end panel for convenient access to the contents of the electronic housing, and a support system is provided for isolation—of contents from vibration or shock. The electronic housing is designed to facilitate integration inside submarines or through small hatches. Cabling and wiring do not need to be removed during integration of the electronic housing.
