AeroCore Technologies Secures Global Contract with U.S. Marine Corps

A Major Leap for Aviation Maintenance

On November 25, 2025, AeroCore Technologies announced a significant development in military aviation maintenance by securing a new and expanded contract with the United States Marine Corps (USMC). This strategic agreement centers on enhancing the efficiency of engine wash systems across all Marine Aircraft Wings, which notably includes operations based in Hawaii and Japan. As military forces continue to adapt to modernized technologies, this contract represents a strong endorsement of AeroCore's innovative solutions, particularly in the realm of aircraft readiness.

Optimizing Engine Wash Operations

The awarded contract aims to employ cutting-edge technology and data analytics to optimize the engine washing operations within the Marine Corps. AeroCore's proprietary Nucleated Foam Technology™ is at the heart of this transformation, serving to drastically reduce maintenance man-hours by up to 75% for both engines and heat exchangers. The innovative foaming solution enhances aircraft availability, reduces aircraft downtime, and ensures a thorough cleaning of internal engine components.

AeroCore’s cleaning technology employs a patented foam formula that effectively scrubs all surfaces of the engine, ensuring that contaminants are fully encapsulated and removed. This promises to not only maintain engine performance but also streamline maintenance practices significantly.

The Impact of Enhanced Technology

Data collected from USMC engine performance metrics indicates a remarkable decrease in the degradation of exhaust gas temperature margins since adopting AeroCore's technology. Jon Davis, a board advisor at AeroCore and retired lieutenant general, emphasized the impact of this contract noting, "Marine Aviation's confidence in our ability to lower maintenance man-hours per flight hour highlights our commitment to enhancing operational readiness for the Marines."

Davis shared a compelling statistic: AeroCore's technology is currently achieving returns on investment ranging from 200% to 500%, with expectations for this value to increase as it becomes fully integrated across the fleet. Such a measurable return makes the case clear for the USMC to continually implement this solution year after year, ultimately leading to lower lifecycle costs for the maintenance of their aviation units.

Efficient and Environmentally Compliant Process

One of the many advantages of the AeroCore engine wash system is its mobility; the cleaning process, which typically lasts about one hour, can be executed almost anywhere the aircraft is stationed. This not only mitigates downtime for the Marine Corps but does so in an environmentally safe manner, adhering to strict regulatory standards.

Kevin Bourke, CEO of AeroCore Technologies, expressed the company's gratitude for being given the opportunity to implement proven commercial best practices within military aviation. “This partnership not only represents a significant step forward for AeroCore but also for the operational capabilities of the USMC,” Bourke stated. “Our goal is to enhance both the maintenance efficiency and the overall performance of their aviation fleet, generating substantial cost savings in the process.”

Future Directions with Nucleated Foam Technology™

In addition to its military applications, AeroCore is also exploring opportunities to deliver performance improvements in other sectors through its collaboration with ReNu Technologies, reflecting a broader commitment to innovative and effective cleaning solutions. As AeroCore continues to harness its technological advancements, the outlook remains positive for both military and commercial aviation industries.
