Exploring the Future of Defense and MRO Innovations

In the world of military and special operations, missiles and munitions are two parts that you do not mess around with. The readiness of such equipment isn’t just about proper storage or secure transport. It hinges on robust, consistent maintenance and corrosion prevention. Over time, even the best-engineered weapons systems face environmental stress: humidity, salt air, rapid temperature shifts, contaminants, and storage conditions can all conspire to degrade critical components.
Across the U.S. defense landscape, few challenges are as constant and costly as corrosion. From the hulls of naval vessels to craft and expeditionary platforms, corrosion quietly erodes at readiness, inflates maintenance costs, and shortens the lifespan of critical assets.
Radwaste management is critical due to a complex interplay of environmental, safety, economic, and logistical challenges associated with radioactive materials and the increasing volume of nuclear decommissioning activities.
The precision of laser marking ensures every military component, from air to land to sea, is accurately identified and traceable, boosting safety, accountability, and mission success.
Military MRO relies largely on high-quality AM assets to ensure mission readiness and sustainment across the lifecycle of critical defense equipment.
The versatility of laser cleaning offers the ability to remove a variety of other contaminants and coatings, not limited to paint, oil, soot, grease, and mold.
