DEFENSE

Non-destructive testing for the military is essential. It can range from straightforward NDT such as ultrasonic testing of metals aboard naval vessels to the testing of complex aerospace components that combine metals and composite materials. In all cases, the main priority is to ensure equipment is built and maintained to the highest safety and performance standards.

Understanding the extent of damage caused by sudden impacts, extreme environments and extensive use, is crucial to ensuring the safety and integrity of vital air, sea and land assets. Ultrasonic testing is an ideal choice for performing inspections when there is a requirement to locate voids, cracks, laminations, and measure the remaining thickness. Many equipment materials used are subject to structural changes due to the operating environment, and so it is important that structural integrity is not compromised.

Our flagship technology platform, dolphicam2, specialises in accurate, high-resolution, analysis-ready digital visualisations for the non-destructive testing of these materials while being easy to mobilise and use in even the most challenging of locations.

Due to the demanding environment, military components or structures are exposed to, quality assurance is paramount, as is the ability to re-inspect at service intervals to ensure continued integrity. The dolphicam2 provides one platform with the most advanced technology, enabling a simple way to perform inspection across all materials.
