Printed Electronics for Military Applications

Solutions for defense applications: Miniaturized, reliable, and customizable.

Flex PCBs, sensors, heating elements, and antennas for challenging requirements.

1

Miniaturization & Weight reduction

Military systems must become lighter, more compact, and energy-efficient to increase mobility, stealth, and operational duration.

FLEXOO's solution: Extremely thin, Flex PCBs and printed sensors replace rigid circuit boards, significantly saving weight and space.

2

Integration & Multifunctionality

Modern defense systems require integrated, multifunctional components combining sensors, antennas, heating elements, and circuits.

FLEXOO's solution: Printed military electronics enables integration of multiple functions on one flexible substrate - combining temperature/pressure sensors, antennas, and heating elements on a single Flex PCB.

3

Reliability under extreme conditions

Defense applications demand highest reliability under vibration, temperature fluctuations, humidity, and mechanical stress.

FLEXOO's solution: Robust, vibration-resistant printed sensors and Flex PCBs withstand extreme environmental conditions. Monitoring solutions enable early fault detection and condition monitoring.

4

Rapid adaptability & Spare parts supply

Spare parts and custom adaptations must be available in the field or within short timeframes, especially for failures or upgrades.

FLEXOO's solution: Printed military electronics can be produced quickly, flexibly, and cost-effectively - ideal for military spare parts and prototypes.

5

Advanced sensing & Monitoring requirements

Modern systems demand precise real-time monitoring of temperature, pressure, and other parameters to increase operational safety and lifespan.

FLEXOO's solution: Printed temperature and pressure sensors plus monitoring solutions enable comprehensive component and system surveillance - even where conventional electronics cannot fit or on curved surfaces.

6

Invisible/Integrated communication

Communication systems (e.g., antennas) must often be integrated inconspicuously, space-efficiently, and reliably into structures.

FLEXOO's solution: Printed antennas can be directly applied on or into housings and structures, offering new possibilities for covert communication and sensing.

7

Energy efficiency & Thermal management

Electronic systems must not overheat and must function even at low temperatures.

FLEXOO's solution: Printed PTC foil heating elements provide targeted, energy-efficient heating of components and surfaces critical in defense systems.

8

Cost & Material efficiency

Material scarcity, cost pressure, and sustainability are gaining importance in defense.

FLEXOO's solution: Printed military electronics reduces material consumption, simplifies production, and enables more environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.

How quickly can printed military electronics solutions be developed and produced for military applications?

Printed military electronics offers significantly shorter development and production times than conventional methods.
Prototypes can be created within days, series production starts in 2-4 weeks depending on complexity.
Particularly for spare parts and field adaptations, this technology provides crucial time advantages for military system spare parts supply.

Do printed electronics components meet the strict quality and safety standards of the defense industry?

Yes, our printed military electronics solutions are developed to withstand harsh conditions, e.g. extreme temperature fluctuations (-40°C to +85°C), vibrations, humidity, and mechanical stress. All components undergo comprehensive quality testing.

What cost advantages does printed military electronics offer compared to conventional solutions in defense?

Printed military electronics reduces costs through multiple factors: lower material consumption, simplified production processes, elimination of complex assembly, and small-series manufacturing capability without high tooling costs.
Particularly for spare parts and custom adaptations, cost savings of 30-50% compared to traditional methods are achieved. Additionally, logistics and storage costs are reduced through fast, demand-based production.
