Defense Coatings

Precision Coatings for Mission-Critical Defense Applications

At IA Coatings, we engineer advanced coating solutions tailored for military environments across land, sea, air, and electronic warfare. Each segment of the defense sector demands specialized performance—and we deliver with coatings designed to meet the exact requirements of your mission profile.

Whether it’s electromagnetic shielding, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, or low-visibility applications, our custom formulations are purpose-built to meet military-grade expectations. We don’t just offer coatings—we develop and apply them in one of the most advanced, ITAR Registered coating facilities in the world.

Our partners trust us to keep their supply chains moving and their assets protected. Current collaborators include CACI, AVT, Thales Defense, Detectachem, and others at the forefront of national security and defense innovation.

Don’t compromise on protection. Choose IA Coatings—where performance is mission-critical.

Mission-Ready Coatings for Defense & Electronic Warfare

In modern warfare, coatings are not cosmetic—they’re a critical layer of performance, protection, and precision. At IA Coatings, we specialize in engineering high-performance coatings for military and defense applications where failure is not an option.

Engineered for the Demands of Defense

From aircraft components exposed to extreme temperatures and pressures, to downrange electronics requiring low-observable signatures and electromagnetic interference shielding, our coatings are engineered to serve and survive in real-world battlefield environments.

  • Land Systems: Weapon components, vehicle parts, sighting systems, and ballistic protection

  • Naval & Maritime: Salt fog resistance, corrosion protection, and low-friction applications

  • Aerospace & UAV: Thermal barrier coatings, non-reflective finishes, and high-altitude durability

  • Electronic Warfare & C5ISR: Anti-static, EMI/RFI shielding, and thermal dissipation solutions

Your Partner in Protection

Every coating we apply is more than a finish—it’s a functional solution designed to meet the exacting standards of modern warfare. We don’t just meet specifications—we help write them.
