Company Overview
We fabricate net shape composite parts such as structural missile components and missile housings, jet engine internal structural components, smart munition range extension kits, aircraft components and sub-assemblies and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) parts and airframes. These components are integrated into key programs such as the F-22 Raptor fifth generation stealth fighter aircraft, the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike fighter, the Small Diameter Bomb system, the Non-Line-of-Sight Launch System and the JAVELIN anti-tank weapon system.
We employ leading-edge material and manufacturing technologies to achieve fabrication costs competitive with metallic designs: low weight, high fatigue/strength/stiffness and corrosion resistance. We select composite materials to fit the specific application including advanced materials such as aerospace grade epoxy, bismalyimide, phenolic and polyimide materials such as Avimid N and AFRPE-4.
Cobham Composite Products designs and makes most of the molds and tooling required for both development and production programs. Our engineers employ semi-automated equipment and fixtures for high-volume, series production programs to maximize learning curve efficiencies that produce the most economical products for our customers. Mechanical, electrical and chemical testing is conducted in-house to fulfill contract requirements for product qualification testing.
With average production rates of several thousand parts annually for many of our products, Cobham is one of the top, high-volume producers of advanced aerospace products in the industry. We employ lean manufacturing techniques to our production processes to continually drive to minimize labor and maximize product yields.
