Materials Engineering Capabilities
Fielding requirements of protective tents and emergency shelters demand laminates that maintain their chemical and biological protection and overall integrity throughout the life of the product. Even after repetitive erecting and striking, decontamination, exposure to abrasion and UV, and weathering, our laminates are designed to resist pinholing, tearing, and delamination. Our engineers have designed laminates to meet the rigorous military requirements for blackout, IR signature, thermal load, packing volume, interply peel strength, tensile strength, and flame resistance.
Lightweight Barriers for Collective Protection
Our engineers have made advances in high-strength textiles, adhesives, and durable protective coatings leading to new, lightweight chemical and biological resistant laminates for inflatable and folding frame shelters. Developed for Natick Soldier System Center's Shelters Technology, Engineering and Fabrication Directorate (STEFD) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), TurtleSkin CB material was selected for the new CBPS-M4A program and also meets the demanding specification for JECP.
