Defense & Naval

Gicam’s technology can repair and manufacture critical defense and naval components using DED Laser technology: armored undercarriages, propeller shafts, marine propellers, and gas turbines. It enables rapid, localized repairs, which are crucial for industrial sovereignty and operational readiness for military and naval fleets.

Structural components for military helicopters

Fittings, rotor mounts, drivetrain components: localized wear on a part that is otherwise in good condition, repairable without having to wait for a new part that has become hard to find.
Just as in civil aviation, certain structural or connecting components (fasteners, rotor mounts, landing gear components) experience localized wear or fatigue while the part as a whole remains in good condition. DED enables the certified repair of these critical areas, which is a major challenge given the cost and lead time involved in procuring military aviation parts.

This additive repair approach, in conjunction with the near-net-shape manufacturing of rare replacement parts, addresses a critical need for sovereignty and logistical autonomy in maintaining military aircraft fleets in operational condition, particularly for aircraft from fleets that are no longer in production.
Professional Repair → Critical areas repaired without completely replacing the part.
Logistical autonomy → Relevant for fleets nearing the end of their production life, where spare parts are scarce.

Key takeaways…
Gicam’s technology can repair critical areas of structural components for helicopters and military drones (struts, rotor mounts) using DED laser technology, based on the same principle as in civil aviation. This certified repair process addresses a major sovereignty challenge for fleets nearing the end of production, where spare parts are becoming scarce.

FAQ

Can DED be used to repair structural components of military helicopters?

Following the same principle as in civil aviation: repairs target the worn or fatigued area (fastener, rotor mount) without replacing the entire part.
