Exova tests materials and components used within the Defence (Military) market. This is of critical importance both in terms of fulfilling their respective optimal performance criteria and protecting the safety of personnel in demanding, exacting and often harsh environments.

Exova has the testing facilities, knowledge and expertise to address these challenges in the Defence market. We have experience in testing materials / components associated with aircraft (engines, landing gear), vehicles – such as tanks, ballistics / ammunition, textiles, electronic ‘black boxes’ and composites (NDT, repair and maintenance). Much of this type of work is related to Research and Development projects such as testing new composites materials (composition / blending of) for Airframe component manufacturers.

Exova is involved in testing in a wide array of projects for the Defence Market at a national and international level and with suppliers in the Defence supply chain. Please contact us to find out how our Defence services can meet your requirements.

Ministry of Defence (MOD) Organisations and the Defence Industries

Decades of experience supporting many national MOD organisations, Defence materiel OEM’s and service organisations gives us deep understanding in the impending challenges within the industry. Through our testing services we can provide solutions for our clients to make the right selection of materials and maintenance procedures for products – knowing that after many years of product storage or a sudden call for use means maintaining maximum performance of a product is crucial.

We have gained a solid reputation working with many producers of military aircraft, marine vessels, armoured vehicles, artillery systems, missiles and ammunitions.
