Materials Science
The demands of the BAE Systems aerospace and defence businesses and the close connections with Airbus have led to a world-class capability in materials and manufacturing. Extensive clean room facilities and materials processes laboratories enable us to provide technology from the smallest nanostructures to large scale welding methods.
We also have considerable expertise in the use of composite materials to fabricate lighter and stronger structures for missile launching systems.
We have also illustrated the application of various materials that will ultimately provide a significant step forward in developing lighter, more lethal, more survivable platforms. Features include:
- Ballistic-composite armor
- Reduced detectability
- Increased ballistic survivability
- Field-capable repairs
- Significant weight savings over traditional metallic structures and armors
