For more than 75 years, ILC Dover has been a global leader in softgoods innovation, delivering advanced, mission-critical systems for the world's most demanding environments. With unmatched experience supporting U.S. defense agencies, government organizations and commercial partners, we design and manufacture high performance materials and fully integrated softgoods systems that drive mission success and strengthen national security.
Our expertise spans a wide range of engineered pressurized softgoods and deployable structures. From designing and manufacturing the spacesuits that carried astronauts to the Moon and built the International Space Station, to developing inflatable radomes for missile defense, ILC Dover has consistently delivered precision, reliability and innovation.
Our technologies have enabled historic achievements and continue to shape the future of exploration and defense---from landing airbags that delivered rovers safely to Mars, to lighter-than-air platforms supporting border security and surveillance missions around the world.
Today, ILC Dover leverages this proven legacy to deliver next-generation softgoods for terrestrial defense and space exploration---from inflatable habitats for low-Earth orbit, lunar bases, and Mars missions, to a comprehensive suite of Department of Defense (DoD) pressurized structures."
