<Aerospace & Defense> From the first moon landing to today’s commercial airlines, Gore provides products and partnership to t ... he aerospace industry. Gore’s commitment to innovation is based on a thorough understanding of materials and how they interact with their environment — with the result of reliable products for aerospace, defense, space, and land systems. Gore’s products meet unique challenges that include reducing downtime for maintenance, decreasing operating costs, improving pilot communication, and providing protection and comfort for flight and ground personnel. Continued technological advancement drives the aerospace industry— particularly the defense sector. With data transmission and connectivity becoming more and more important, military aircraft manufacturers need technology partners providing reliable and accurate solutions that suit tighter budgets. Gore provides the defense sector with solutions that are reliable, remain in service longer and require less maintenance. <Space> The Phoenix Mars Lander, the International Space Station and hundreds of satellite and aerospace applications: Gore products have provided reliable, time-tested and proven solutions to the most challenging aerospace missions since the early sixties. We first applied our understanding of materials and how they interact with varied environments in 1962 during the launch of the first US TV satellite; Gore cables helped to allow the live feed on transatlantic television. Our products were also present on the first space shuttle mission as fibers woven into the outer layer of astronauts’ space suits. <Land Systems> In military scenarios, exchanging information over electronic devices is critical to mission success. Gore manufacturers high-performance solutions that deliver failure-free power distribution, signal connectivity and high-speed data transmission — proven advanced solutions the armed forces have come to trust and depend on for decades. read more
