Defence and Security

In Defence and Security, Systems must deliver when the stakes are highest. Our clients in this sector rely on robust, dependable composite technologies that deliver consistent results in the harshest environments. At Prime Synthetic Solutions, we engineer lightweight, resilient materials that outperform traditional solutions—helping military teams operate more efficiently and safely.

Through close collaboration with defence partners, we’ve developed bespoke products using advanced manufacturing techniques that combine different yarns and protective coatings. These tailored solutions are designed to meet specific operational goals, whether for mobility, durability, or environmental resistance.

Our ParaFil™ synthetic ropes have proven their value across a range of military applications, including:

  • Tank Bridges
    ParaFil™ has been deployed as a launch stay in the Titan Armoured Vehicle Launcher Bridge and as tension members in the Longbow Advanced Long Span Bridge system developed by BAE Systems.
     
  • Guard Rails
    ParaFil™ is the NATO-specified material of choice for guard rails on all Royal Navy ships for over 50 years. It’s also preferred by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Its high strength-to-weight ratio, low extension at break, and resistance to UV radiation, seawater, and ice build-up make it ideal for maritime and coastal defence applications.

Our composite solutions are designed to last longer, weigh less, and perform better—supporting mission-critical operations while reducing maintenance and lifecycle costs. And with their non-corrosive, high-modulus properties, ParaFil™ ropes continue to set the standard for reliability in defence infrastructure.

We’re always open to exploring new applications. If you have a concept or challenge in mind, let’s talk. Together, we can develop a solution that meets your operational needs and supports the future of defence engineering.
