Goodrich has over forty years of experience in the design, manufacture, and testing of large, complex composite structures for naval applications. Past projects have included large composite structures weighing more than 50 tons, and measuring more than 40 feet long!

Fabrication of a large composite structure requires expertise in handling and movement. The Goodrich facility site was initially designed for the construction of the 20,000 pound surface combatant sonar dome rubber windows. Our location near the Intra-coastal waterway and St. John’s River in Jacksonville, Florida, is ideally suited for shipping large composite structures.

Goodrich has designed and manufactured numerous large, complex and advanced composite structures for the US Navy. Recent projects: submarine bow domes, surface ship sonar domes, naval lighterage/barge modules, Advanced Seal Delivery System (ASDS) exostructure, lightweight, radar absorbing louvers, composite sonar keel domes, and submarine high frequency acoustic windows.
