Thermal Management
Many aerospace and defense systems incorporate sophisticated electronic components that generate significant amounts of heat during operation. Effective thermal management ensures that these components operate within their optimal temperature range, which is essential for maintaining their reliability, performance, and longevity. Our custom solutions can prevent overheating which can cause premature failure, reduced operational lifespan, and increased maintenance costs.
Common Solutions
- Channel heat in tight spaces
- Evenly distribute heat
- Clean application
- Component Longevity
Sound & Vibration Dampening
Aerospace and defense equipment are subjected to high levels of vibration, shock, and dynamic loads during operation, especially when deployed in challenging and demanding environments such as combat zones or extreme weather conditions. Custom sound and vibration solutions play a vital role in mitigating these adverse effects by effectively absorbing and dampening vibrations and shock.
Common Solutions
- Reduce wear & tear
- Absorb shock
- Stabilize components
- Reduce structure borne noise
