Military vehicles include far more technology than ever before. These new technologies have greatly enhanced the capability of military assets, but have also made them more susceptible to corrosion - which puts their readiness at greater risk.
Read MoreIt's ironic that something microscopic makes such a huge difference to protecting your critical assets.
Read MoreLightweight corrosion-mitigating blankets will now be standard equipment.
Read MoreSometimes the size of a problem becomes part of the problem itself.
Read MoreA look at the risks corrosion poses to sustainment.
Read MoreThere's a lot more to an advanced cover than meets the eye.
Read MoreHe’ll be an integral part of the Operations team, helping to manage the design and execution of steel-framed fabric structures, and the installation and operation of Corrosion-Free Environments (CFE).
Read MoreAt the end of last month a Cocoon team was on-site at Boeing in Philadelphia, with our customer the U.S. Army, to verify installation of the first ITAB on Block II Chinooks.
Read MoreLearn more about how new technologies are helping the military fight corrosion to keep assets ready - and lower the cost to maintain them.
Read MoreArtillery, tanks, aircraft, ships...are all good candidates. But there’s something else you probably haven’t considered.
Read MoreAs the old saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Or in this case, a few minutes spent putting on protective covers can save hundreds of maintenance man-hours and greatly reduce the risk of Non-Available Days (NADs).
Read MoreNearly 30% of the maintenance costs for C-130s are corrosion-related, and the lion’s share of those costs are hull/frame-related. One of the key contributors to the corrosion problem is an outdated insulation system.
Read MoreIt’s well known that corrosion puts a lot of stress on equipment and structures. What’s less obvious is the toll it can take on personnel.
Read MoreNo, this is not some sort of existential exercise, it’s about what you’re really buying when you purchase a protective cover for military equipment.
Read MoreWhen Army Aviation & Missile Command put forward the challenge to develop a more effective protective cover in 2007, we had 30 years of corrosion-prevention experience, but we didn’t have a protective cover product.
Read MoreAn armored vehicle is built to withstand the impact of bullets, shell fragments, and other projectiles, but it’s no match for the elements.
Read MoreThe primary reason some sunshades are substantially cheaper than others is that they use less steel. Their product and engineering are more oriented towards cost savings than durability.
Read MoreCorrosion has, of course, always been a threat to operational readiness - but perhaps never more than today. You might have your own list, but here’s our list.
Read MoreINDOPACOM is an enormous challenge when it comes to logistics and supply chains. One reason is that INDOPACOM itself is enormous.
Read MoreIt’s widely recognized that INDOPACOM doesn’t yet have the infrastructure it needs to implement the strategic shift to that theater.
