Cocoon, Inc. products

After experiencing deficiencies and substandard performance in the legacy thermal and acoustic blankets on CH-47s, the Cargo Helicopter Program Management Office initiated a blanket modernization effort. The outcome of that effort is Cocoon’s patented blanket system that is not only substantially lighter, but improves performance across the board. The result is more mission capability, increased readiness, lower maintenance costs, and extended lifecycles.

The military has a significant need for structures that can be approved, funded, and operational quickly. Steel-framed fabric structures have proven to be the answer at numerous sites around the world. These built-to-code, durable, cost-effective, and adaptable structures can be assembled for a fraction of the cost of traditional construction, while at the same time being virtually sustainment-free. Cocoon projects feature structures manufactured by RUBB Building Systems, long considered the gold standard of steel-framed fabric buildings.

When critical assets are exposed to humidity, precipitation, UV radiation, salt, pollution, they begin to rust and corrode almost immediately. Corrosion impacts everything from aircraft and vehicles to ordnance and spare parts. The GAO estimated corrosion was responsible for taking 16% of military assets out of action. Fortunately there’s an antidote to corrosion. Storing critical assets in humidity controlled environments neutralizes the corrosion that reduces readiness and drives up maintenance costs.
