Engineered Protection for Defence & Industrial Applications
Engineered Protection for Critical Defence & Industrial Assets
At Specialised Covers, we design and manufacture bespoke protective textile solutions engineered to safeguard high-value defence platforms, equipment, and components throughout their lifecycle. From production and maintenance to transport, storage, and deployment, our precision-fit covers are built to protect, preserve, and perform in the most demanding environments.
With over 40 years of experience and a heritage rooted in British craftsmanship, we support defence primes, integrators, and specialist organisations with UK-made, sovereign capability that reduces risk, extends asset life, and supports operational readiness.
Built Around Your Asset
Every project begins with a deep understanding of the asset and its operating environment. We combine traditional cloth patterning techniques with advanced 3D scanning and CAD technology to digitally capture contours, interfaces, and access points with exceptional accuracy.
This dual approach allows us to engineer precision-fit solutions that balance durability, usability, and repeatable manufacturing, whether producing one-off prototypes or batch production runs
Sovereign, UK-Based Capability You Can Trust
All Specialised Covers solutions are designed and manufactured in the UK at our 32,000 sq ft Yorkshire facility. This ensures full quality control, secure handling of sensitive data, and genuine sovereign capability, a critical requirement for defence and industrial partners.
Our ISO 9001-accredited processes, Cyber Essentials pathways, and JOSCAR approval demonstrate our commitment to resilience, compliance, and long-term reliability.
Defence Domains We Support
Our engineered protection systems span multiple defence domains, including:
-
Land Systems – Body protection kits, turret and weapon shrouds, EO/IR covers, component and workshop protection
-
Air Systems – Engine inlet and exhaust covers, rotor and prop protection, avionics bay covers, RBF-tagged solutions, and GSE covers
-
Maritime Systems – RHIB and deck covers, mast and antenna shrouds, quayside and long-term storage protection
-
Weapons & Support Equipment – Radar and launcher shrouds, deployable covers, storage and transit systems
Each solution is tailored to reduce FOD risk, prevent corrosion, and protect mission-critical systems during every operational phase.
Protection at Every Stage of the Lifecycle
We deliver engineered protection across the full production and operational journey, from raw materials and machining through to assembly, testing, storage, transport, and deployment.
Our reusable, durable cover systems protect assets from dust, impact, abrasion, moisture, UV exposure, and environmental contamination, helping reduce downtime, repair costs, and through-life expenditure
Advanced Technical Fabrics & Specialist Applications
We work with a wide range of high-performance technical textiles, including flame-retardant, anti-static, UV-stable, thermal, breathable, reflective, and corrosion-resistant materials. This allows us to engineer covers suitable for extreme environments and specialist defence requirements.
Our capabilities include transport covers, body protection kits, maintenance and ground support equipment covers, aerospace and marine protection, and tailored camouflage systems with multispectral signature reduction where required
A Long-Term Defence Partner
We don’t just supply covers, we build partnerships. From rapid prototyping to long-term production programmes, our agile, no-MOQ approach allows us to respond quickly to evolving project requirements while maintaining consistent quality and traceability.
Trusted across defence, aerospace, industrial, and marine sectors, Specialised Covers remains committed to delivering engineered protection that performs when it matters most
