Production and Engineering
Armor should be made right.
We’re fully equipped to process a large variety of complex materials, engineering designs, and scale those solutions to high volume, automated production—from fabrication to record-keeping.
Production capabilities
We develop and manufacture spall liners, proprietary armor, and protective solutions for a variety of military, law enforcement, infrastructure, aerospace, and civilian applications, including but not limited to:
- High performance base armor for tactical vehicles (A-Kits and B-Kits)
- Add-on EFP kits
- E-glass armor for buildings and structures
- Multi-threat armor to protect domestic critical transportation infrastructure (bridges, tunnels, and utilities)
- Fire protection solutions
- Production of kits, packed to ship overseas for various spares, support, reset, and recap programs
- Production of composite armors of various materials, including Dyneema®, SpectraShield, other UHMWPE’s, aramids, and various hybrids designed for specific end-uses—capacity exceeds millions of square feet of composite armor annually
Just by being environmentally conscious...we actually find that we can be much more efficient.
