Emerging Defense Technologies
Materials and expertise for operational speeds, enhanced intelligence, and strategic advantage.
Stockwell Elastomerics serves companies that are developing emerging defense technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, autonomous systems, hypersonic weapons, and next-generation communication networks like the Internet of Military Things (IoMT).
From prototyping through production, Stockwell Elastomerics molds and fabricates the parts that innovators needs.
The Stockwell Advantage: Materials, Processes, and Expertise
As specialists in solid silicone, silicone sponge, and silicone foam, Stockwell Elastomerics can recommend the right materials and manufacturing processes. Among its advantages, silicone offers temperature stability, long service life in demanding environments, and low compression set for reliable sealing under constant load.
Stockwell Elastomerics also inventories and fabricates microcellular urethane foam and EMI shielding materials that include electrically conductive silicones. In addition to partnering with industry-leading material suppliers, Stockwell Elastomerics provides adhesive lamination and composite laminations to meet the demanding requirements of emerging defense technologies.
Gaskets for Emerging Defense Technologies
Stockwell Elastomerics offers these and other products to defense tech innovators.
- Thermal management: Thermal gap fillers and thermal interface materials (TIM).
- Environmental sealing: Gaskets that support IP ratings for sealed enclosures.
- Shock and vibration: Vibration dampening pads
- EMI/RFI shielding: EMI/RFI gaskets and custom conductive gaskets and ESD pads
- Fire safety: UL 94 flame rated gaskets and silicone foam for turnout gear.
- Cooling infrastructure: Airflow management products such as air plenum gaskets
Autonomous Systems
Autonomous systems such as uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs), autonomous surface vessels (ASVs), and uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) need products such as weather-resistant seals, flame-retardant gaskets, EMI shielding, TIMs, and vibration dampeners. Silicone elastomers can also support soft robotics and haptics for emerging defense technologies.
Hypersonic Weapons
Hypersonic flight poses severe heat and stress on external structures; however, specialized elastomers can be used for internal components that need to withstand high temperatures, oxidation and chemicals, and material degradation and fatigue. In addition to high-temperature seals and vibration dampeners, composites that contain elastomers may be used in ballistic shields.
Next-Generation Communication Networks
The Internet of Military Things (IoMT) is a network of interconnected devices used in military operations to collect, transmit, and analyze data in real-time. IoMT is a digital network, but it needs physical products for environmental protection, sealing, shock absorption, and fluid transfer. Elastomers can meet these requirements and may be used in wearable technologies for war fighters.
