INDUSTRY CHALLENGES WE SOLVE
Optimising Acoustic Performance
Controlling underwater acoustics is vital for performance. Matrix materials are engineered to tune sound properties, improving detection, noise control, and operational efficiency.
Achieve Deepwater Buoyancy
Neutral buoyancy is essential for range and acoustic control. Matrix syntactic foams provide stable, passive buoyancy for UUVs and submersibles.
Withstanding Deepwater Pressure
Our materials are engineered to withstand extreme hydrostatic pressure in deepwater defence operations.
Scaling UUV Platform Production
Matrix specialises in the mass moulding of integrated buoyant structures, enabling scalable manufacturing of UUV platforms.
Reducing Detection Risk
Our tuned acoustic materials limit acoustic, thermal, and magnetic traces in underwater environments, enhancing mission effectiveness and survivability.
Reducing Topside Weight
Matrix composites lower topside weight, improving range, payload and efficiency across naval and unmanned defence platforms.
