Airborne Armor

Face Shield Coating for Military Aviators

There’s no margin for error at 2,000 feet. Helicopter pilots and aircrew face some of the harshest operating conditions in the military—extreme vibration, intense sun glare, airborne debris, and constant high-stress maneuvers. At IA Coatings, we ensure their face shields are coated with airborne armor and are just as tough as the missions they fly. Check out some of our face shield designs.

We offer military helicopter face shield coatings using a proprietary blend of advanced materials, including Cerakote, at absolutely no cost to the warfighter.

These face shields aren’t just eye protection—they’re a critical barrier between pilots and the elements. Our coating systems provide:

• Optical clarity under any sky

• Abrasion resistance for high-speed debris encounters

• Anti-fog & anti-glare properties to maintain visibility in rapidly changing altitudes

• Cerakote durability to withstand impact, heat, and chemicals

• Stealth matte finishes for tactical low-visibility profiles

Whether you’re behind the stick of a Blackhawk or Chinook, flying nap-of-the-earth or hoisting out of a hot LZ, your shield shouldn’t be a liability—it should be an asset.

We coat every face shield with the same care and precision we bring to aerospace and defense-grade projects. Then we send it back to you—no charge, no red tape. It’s our way of giving back to the pilots, crew chiefs, and gunners keeping the skies secure.

🛫 Request a coating. We’ll handle the rest.
