MILITARY & DEFENSE OPPORTUNITIES
How and Why to Pursue a New Career Servicing the Defense Industry With ArmorThane’s Performance Coatings
A SHARED PROMISE TO SERVE AND PROTECT
As you may have noticed, the world is a bit crazy at the moment; in fact, it’s been this way for a while now, and unfortunately, there’s no sign of that changing any time soon. The great power politics that dominated the 20th century are now waning in popularity as well as feasibility, and global resource competition, territorial claims, and other types of new and old conflicts alike are threatening to further destabilize an already precarious global geopolitical situation. Combined with domestic and international wars on the battleground of ideas, it’s never been more crucial to develop and maintain robust military infrastructure that can sustain deterrence to prevent major escalations and succeed in military intervention if and when the time comes.
The lifeblood of any military, servicemen and women around the world make a sacred promise to serve and protect, supported by the ingenious tools and equipment developed by the defense industry. To protect these colossal investments and the invaluable souls who put their life on the line for all of our well-being, military tools, equipment, and infrastructure can be shielded with high-performance elastomer coating technology like ArmorThane’s polyurea and polyurethane formulations. That’s why we’re excited to extend an invitation to pursue military defense opportunities with ArmorThane, where you can share the sacred promise to serve and protect, and enjoy a stable, lucrative, and flexible new career.
ARMORTHANE’S MILITARY DEFENSE OPPORTUNITIES
ArmorThane is a full-service provider of polyurea and polyurethane products and services, and we formulate, manufacture, apply, and distribute our protective coatings around the world thanks to our international network of professional applicators and growing global customer base. While our speciality is universality – we’re your one-stop shop experts in all things polyurea and polyurethane protective coatings – some of our most lucrative and fulfilling projects lie within the defense industry. Our technology is used to protect and even upgrade military equipment and infrastructure, making the most out of precious taxpayer dollars, and helping keep military personnel safe and secure. Here are a few of the potential military defense opportunities made possible by starting your own coatings business with ArmorThane:
01
Ballistics
Our protective coatings are commonly used for ballistic protection, whether it be small arms like handguns or shrapnel from larger ballistics like unguided rockets. Our technology is highly versatile, and can be applied to many different surfaces including concrete, metal, glass, plastic, and wood, meaning it’s ready to use in almost any environment with almost any substrate.
02
Blast Mitigation
Hand in hand with ballistic protection is blast mitigation; maybe a projectile itself is unlikely to reach its target, but that doesn’t mean the subsequent explosion and scattering of shrapnel don’t threaten to wreak just as much havoc. Our coatings can be applied to vehicles, security installations, chemical storage facilities, or anywhere else at risk of blasts or explosions to reduce material damage and the likelihood of a mass casualty event.
03
Electronics
On the modern battlefield, electronics are everywhere and everything. Avionics, electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) systems, anti aircraft batteries, and everything in between are underpinned by often sensitive electronics. Many such electronic systems can be protected with ArmorThane’s spray elastomer technology, seeing their lifespans extended and operational efficiency improved, translating to huge cost savings and safer operating conditions.
04
Camouflage
To the untrained eye, camouflage may seem like an essentially random pattern, simply comprising the colors common to a specific environment. The reality is that creating effective camouflaging is exceptionally difficult, and requires sophisticated technology to meet the demands of modern warfare. Guided by color-matching algorithms, we’ve developed novel camouflage coatings using micro-patterns that help maximize concealment in diverse environments, whether through dense jungle, open desert, or the urban environment.
05
Radar Absorbance
Hiding from the enemy may require more than being obscured to the naked eye. Some military equipment like fighter aircraft require an advanced type of camouflage called stealth, where they are invisible to the advanced electronic detection systems used to identify and combat enemy aircraft. Moreover, it’s not aircraft; naval vessels, ground vehicles, and more can all benefit from radar absorbent coatings, as this technology becomes more sophisticated and prolific.
WHY PURSUE MILITARY DEFENSE OPPORTUNITIES?
If it’s not already clear, one of the best reasons to pursue military defense opportunities with ArmorThane is the chance to get up close and personal with some of the most incredible technology known to man! Seriously, few opportunities come close to this level of access to some of the world’s most advanced technology – and we’re not just talking about our spray elastomer formulations! But if working with remarkable tech is only part of the puzzle for you, we’re not ashamed to admit; working for the defense industry can be highly lucrative. The scale and complexity of modern militaries means huge budgets and tons of work, doing anything from securing military installations to shielding some of the world’s most elite military aircraft. But like we said, there’s more to life than money, and nothing is more valuable nor more fulfilling than knowing the fruits of your labor serve to protect those who swore to protect! It’s not just about the expensive infrastructure owned and operated by the military, but the personnel who do the heavy lifting and are risking more than dollar signs. By pursuing military defense opportunities with ArmorThane, you can enjoy a fun, lucrative, fulfilling career with all the perks of being your own boss.
