Technology Focus

Our capabilities are focused on developing innovative solutions using softgoods technology.  This includes inflatable structures, flexible composite products, and technical apparel.  The common "thread" in what we do is leveraging textiles, coated fabrics, and barrier membranes to create products that solve challenging problems.  The advantages of using softgoods technologies include compact packaging for transport, mass reduction, impact energy absorption, and solution cost reduction.  Some examples include:
     Deployable Structures:  Life Rafts / Sunshades / Telescopic Masts / Antennas / UUVs / Floats / Decoys / Shields / Sensors
     Containment or Isolation Covers: Protective Covers for Robotics / Glovebags 
     Personal Protective Equipment:  Space Suit Components / CBRNE Gloves / Respiratory Protection / Protective Suits
     Impact Attenuators:  Airbags / Inflatable Bumpers
     Inflatable Structures:  Water Storage Containers / Collapsible Logistics Containers / Shelters / Collapsible Cryogenic Storage Tanks / Unmanned Airships / Lift Bags

We use state-of-the-art materials to develop products and support the creation of next generation technologies that can be incorporated into softgoods solutions to enhance their capabilities and performance.  Some examples include:
     High performance fibers:  Vectran, Kevlar, Zylon, Polyester, Nylon
     High Performance Films:  Polyurethane, Fluoropolymers, Mylar, Kapton, Barrier
     Electronic Textiles & Membranes (Structural Health Monitoring, Sensors, Light, etc.)
     Rigidizable Composite Materials: Carbon/Epoxy, Glass/Epoxy
