Finishing Systems for Drones and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Manufacturing

Rohner engineers finishing systems for advanced drone, unmanned aircraft system (UAS), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and composite aircraft manufacturers. From large composite airframes and wings to control systems and specialty low-observable applications, Rohner designs finishing systems for your specific applications.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) include many structures, electronics, and ground systems including:

• Airframes and Fuselages: require larger finishing equipment in controlled environment
• Composite Structures: carbon-fiber fuselages, wings, propellers, and payload structures need specialty coatings
• Wings and Large Structural Components: require large equipment booths to accommodate components 
• Engine and Propulsion Components: need paint and powder systems as well as curing ovens 
• Electronics and Payload Housings: sensors, electronics, communications, flight controls need corrosion-resistant coatings
• Battery Enclosures and Power Systems: require corrosion-resistant coatings in controlled environment

Paint Finishing for Drones: Coatings and Low-Observable Finishes for UAV Manufacturing

Coatings Used for Drone and Unmanned Aircraft System Manufacturing:

• For military-grade unmanned aircraft systems: carbon-fiber, Kevlar, fiberglass composites with epoxy-based composite construction
• Exterior coatings include aerospace primers for adhesion and protection of the composite substrate
• Polyurethane topcoats for durable exterior finishes with low-gloss coating
• Corrosion-resistant and UV-protective finishes for metallic components
• Low-visibility finishes in matte gray or gray-green to minimize reflection and visual signature
• Potential radar and electromagnetic shield coatings for radar absorbtion and reduction of electromagnetic interference
