Advanced Composite solutions for military applications
In defence applications, performance, reliability, and short lead times are critical. Marstrom Composite delivers solutions for ground, marine and airborne systems with full control over the entire chain – from design and mold manufacturing to composite production and delivery.
Our in-house tool manufacturing, with round-the-clock production in 3- and 5-axis machines, enables fast and precise mold production even for complex geometries. By managing all steps in-house, we can offer tailor-made solutions with high traceability, repeatability and quality – adapted to demanding environments and high functional requirements.
Ground based systems
Composite materials offer a combination of low weight, high structural strength and exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear – properties that make them particularly suitable for ground-based military applications with high demands on mobility, service life and reliability.
One example is lightweight composite containers, where the reduced tare weight directly enables a higher payload – such as more ammunition, fuel, or technical equipment – within the same logistical framework. This not only improves transport efficiency but also enhances operational endurance in the field.
Other applications include:
- Composite-based components for mobile launch systems
- Protective enclosures for sensors and sensitive electronics
- Structural parts of unmanned ground systems (UGVs)
- Modular mobile units for command and control
With our expertise in advanced composite manufacturing, we create tailor-made solutions for military needs where every kilogram counts – without compromising on strength or function.
Naval applications
In marine defence applications, composite materials offer clear benefits in terms of weight savings, corrosion-free and reduced maintenance requirements – crucial factors in demanding environments with salt water, shock and vibration.
Composite makes it possible to develop structures and components that contribute to lower fuel consumption, increased payload and improved long-term operational reliability.
Examples of applications:
- Radom covers and sensor housings with low signature
- Lightweight designs for fast response vessels
- Integrated panels and structures with stealth properties
- Specially adapted enclosures and protection systems
Our solutions combine high structural performance with freedom of form and advanced material composition – optimized for modern marine defence platforms.
Airspace
In flying and space-based systems, every gram is crucial. Composite materials enable lightweight yet extremely strong components that not only improve fuel efficiency but also contribute to increased range, payload and maneuverability.
Marstrom has extensive experience in supplying high precision manufactured composite parts for aerospace applications, with a focus on requirements in both manned and unmanned systems.
Examples of applications:
- Structural components for UAVs
- Lightweight booms, support structures and instrument mounts
- Sensor and communication enclosures with electromagnetic compatibility
- Aerodynamically optimized surface structures with high strength
Our production capabilities in autoclave manufacturing and advanced fiber laying guarantee lightweight, high-precision and maximum performance components – from prototype to series production.
