The defence sector utilises fibre reinforced polymer composites in a number of ways. This includes lightweighting for protective clothing and vehicle components and impact resistance as the material has a high strain/failure ratio. But if failure does occur it will shatter and be less harmful to its environment than metal. It can be coupled with other materials to increase protection properties, corrosion resistant for less “in field” maintenance, have embedded functionality with monitoring systems integrated into the material and be designed in a way where pieces can be moulded as one, reducing the number of parts needed and increasing production speed.
This Composites UK event will look at:
- An overview of the defence sector and market
- Technology and innovation
- Supply chain – opportunities and challenges to supplying the defence sector
Meet the NCC
Our Chief Engineer for Defence and Space, Sean Cooper, is presenting on the future of composites technology for UK defence, discussing the current and expected trends.

We are partnering with TWI for our next Technology Day.
For our next Technology Day, we’re diving deep into the realm of joining composites in Defence applications. This event is a unique opportunity for academics, the supply chain, and experts in the field, to come together and explore the cutting-edge world of composite materials. Join us as we unlock the potential of these advanced materials and their integration into the Defence sector. -
