Protective Packaging uses a custom made PVC coated polyester scrim product with high tensile strength for corrosion protection of the X-47B Drone during transport.

1. Corrosion Protection for the X-47B Drone
One of our most popular military packaging projects has made the news again. After
generating buzz as a "UFO" being shipped across country on a flatbed truck, the 'stealth
drone', or X-47B, has been moved again, but this time it's out to sea.
On Tuesday, November 27, the US Navy released footage of the the X-47B drone
demonstrator being loaded onto the deck of the USS Harry S. Truman docked at the
Norfolk Naval Air Station in Norfolk, VA. The drone is set to undergo its first carrier-
based testing for full integration into flight deck operations. Once the drone completes all
of it's testing, it will be the first aircraft able to land on an aircraft carrier autonomously.
In our initial project with this drone, we worked with Northrop Grumann to ensure the
craft would be preserved during cross country transport from California to Maryland.
This time, we made a heavy duty cover for the drone during it's barge trip through the
Chesapeake Bay from the Patuxent Naval Air Station to the Norfolk Naval Air Station.
The outer material you see in the images is a heavy duty, PVC coated polyester scrim
product with high tensile strength. This protective cover is custom made from state of the
art engineered materials designed for durable corrosion protection in all types of weather.
These serve as a sacrificial outer coating to protect items in storage or during transport.
