Multi-stage missiles require reliable sealing between sections, which inflatable seals, large diameter O-rings, and specialty joint seals can provide.

Fins, Control Surfaces & Actuators

Rod seals, wipers, dynamic O-rings, and bellows keep moving parts and actuator housings safe from environmental exposure to ensure reliable operation.

Launch Canisters

Protect missiles during storage and launch with environmental end cap seals, canister door seals, and venting membranes to maintain acceptable pressures and prevent ingress.

Ground Support & Launch Platform Systems

Hydraulic seals, bulkhead seals, and EMI shielding provide the protection necessary for hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems on launch platforms.

Main Housings

O-rings and gaskets made from flurosilicone, EPDM, or neoprene can prevent moisture, dust, sand, fog, and chemical ingress in a variety of environments.

Displays & Keypads

Keep water and particulate matter from penetrating screens, keypads, and control interfaces with window seals, molded elastomer overlays, and similar solutions.

Data, Antenna & Power Connectors

Miniature O-rings and EMI gaskets can keep multi-pin connectors safe, while gaskets can waterproof antenna interfaces for use in extreme environments.

EMI Shielding

A strong signal requires shielding from electromagnetic interference, raising the need for conductive elastomer gaskets and EMI seals across seams and access panels.
