We believe there’s another way to look at “going the extra mile” which starts in the development process.

It’s estimated the financial cost of corrosion to the DoD is $20 billion annually. To put things in perspective, that’s $55 million per day, or $39,000 per minute.

It’s critical to make good decisions when readiness, maintenance costs, and TOC are at stake. In the military the stakes are high whether it’s a $100,000 decision or a $10 million decision.

The answer is quite simple, and the advantages are significant.

What’s the most important component of a car? You could argue it’s the engine, but an engine isn’t much good without a transmission. And a transmission isn’t much use without axels and wheels. Steering and brakes are pretty important as well.

Corrosion-Free Environments (CFE) can stop corrosion in its tracks - virtually stopping the aging process. Here are the 5 essential elements.

Corrosion comes at an enormous cost to the military in terms of readiness. It’s been estimated that across the DoD, 1.15 million Non-Available Days are attributed to corrosion annually.

Thanks to advanced engineering and high quality materials, steel-framed fabric structures are far stronger, and much more durable, than most people realize.

If you’ve spent time on a Chinook, you’ve most likely experienced the sagging blanket problem - blankets that have pulled free of the airframe and sag from the ceiling and side panels.

Understandably, most people think first about what a cover keeps out, but what’s arguably even more important is what it lets out.

Data is an essential tool in the fight against corrosion. You might have all the right facilities, and all the right equipment, but you can only be assured of success if you have also have the right data.

We often talk about being “problem-centric” not “product-centric” because we know that the real business we’re in is not selling products but solving problems.

Making Cocoon’s ITAB lightweight, air-permeable, hydrophobic, and oleophobic took years of painstaking R&D, but the end result hasn’t just modernized aviation blankets, it’s revolutionized them.

It’s hard to overstate the importance of a protective cover being freeze-proof. When a cover freezes, it gains weight and takes on the shape of what it’s covering.

Readiness isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. When our troops are asked to answer the call, they need to know their equipment will be ready.

Usage and fatigue are the primary factors in determining the lifespan of an asset. Usage is typically a pretty straightforward measure of flight hours, mileage, engine hours, years, etc. Fatigue is not as easily measured.

Both Mother Nature and man-made hazards put unrelenting pressure on every asset in the military. Your vehicles, aircraft, equipment, weapons systems, parts, are all vulnerable to humidity, pollution, UV radiation, temperature fluctuations - you name it.

At the heart of our work, whether it’s developing a new cover, or designing a hangar, is a deep understanding of the problems you’re trying to solve, the needs you’re trying to address, the challenges you face.
