Composite Shelters
SES, a business division of AES, is currently developing and qualifying a composite ISO tactical shelter in partnership with: Hill AFB, Thermoplastic Composite Designs, Inc. (TCD), WebCore Technologies, Inc., Infinite Technologies, Inc. (ITI), the US Navy and the US Army. An automated manufacturing process is also being developed to ensure that this newly applied technology is both effective and affordable.
Advantages of the composite shelters include:
| |
 |
Reduced Maintenance/Repair Cost |
| |
|
Reduced Environmental Impacts |
| |
|
Reduced Weight |
| |
|
Reduced Logistical Footprint |
| |
|
Improved Thermal Efficiency |
| |
|
Reduced Energy Consumption |
| |
|
Extended Product Life |
Composite Radomes
SES is currently working to develop and qualify an innovative, low-cost thermoplastic panel that will improve the physical, mechanical, and structural performance of conventional ground-based radomes. This effort is in partnership with Hill AFB, Thermoplastic Composite Designs, Inc. (TCD), Infinite Technologies, Inc. (ITI), the FAA, NOAA, the National Weather Service and Next Generation Radar (NexRad).
Advantages of the improved Composite Radomes include:
| |
|
Eliminate/Reduce Periodic Maintenance |
| |
|
Eliminate/Reduce Environmental Compliance Burden |
| |
|
Improved Field Durability |
| |
|
Extended Lifecycle |
Composite Towers
SES is
