SCS conformal coatings are ideal for UAVs and drones, both for protecting specially designed OEM systems, as well as enhancing the performance of COTS products not originally intended to withstand harsh environments.
As the use of drones continues to proliferate in the industrial, commercial and defense sectors, the aircraft will need to reliably operate in demanding weather and environmental conditions.
Autonomous and remotely piloted UAVs rely on a wide variety of electronic systems, such as sensors, cameras, flight controllers, mission payload controls and communications equipment, all of which must be protected against failure.
SCS’ high-performance conformal coating solutions have been tested to temperature, vibration and environmental extremes in some of the harshest environments on Earth, at high altitudes and in space. This field-proven protection meets a wide variety of essential requirements for UAV designs, including:
Lightweight and thin – minimal impact on drone SWaP budgets, allowing maximum payload capacity and flight time
Exceptional reliability – unmatched protection against moisture, dust, chemicals and extreme weather
Desirable dieletric properties – protects sensitive electronics without affecting the drone’s RF control, communication and data signals, with no distortion or disruption even as operating frequencies increase.
