Driving solutions in a period of unprecedented change in
today's combat zones
Meet Our Global Team at Booth 2407
TYSONS
CORNER, Va., Oct. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- One year after relocating
its headquarters from Europe to
the Washington D.C. area and
changing its name to Integris Composites, the business founded 30
years ago returns tomorrow to AUSA 2024 with a global team of
experts and product innovations to help protect warfighters in a
period of unprecedented change and complexity.
Founded in 1994 as ARES, and later established as TenCate
Advanced Armor until the name was changed last year, Integris
Composites is exhibiting at AUSA, Oct.
14-16, in Booth 2407.
"We are displaying an expanding portfolio of ballistic, blast
and spall limiting technology for land, sea and air
operations. We're also inviting visitors to discuss emerging
challenges with our experts from around the world," said
David Cordova, chief commercial
officer, Integris Composites, Inc. Engineers and armor designers
from the global organization will be on hand to speak with
guests.
Global Challenges & Multinational Resources
"In addition to personal protection and tactical vehicles, our
team can share solutions being developed for watercraft and
aircraft globally. We can also discuss the rapidly changing threats
in combat," Cordova said.
"For example, we are all aware that militias spawned by
terrorists are fielding low-cost explosives and drones that are
creating unique challenges for Western allies," Cordova added.
"At Integris, we are exploring innovative defenses against
advanced threats, including top-attack weapons, kamikaze drones,
loitering munitions, and smart submunitions. These are just some of
the factors affecting the armor and survivability sector being
reshaped by advancements in design, technology, changing military
needs, and international security challenges," Cordova added.
A Parade of Solutions
During AUSA, Integris is showcasing a parade of composite armor
kits and personal protection plates designed, engineered and
manufactured for multiple contracts with Defense Department and OEM
suppliers. They include:
- ESAPI & XSBI Plates
- Aircraft armor
- Add-on armor – Stanag level III to VI
- Maritime armor
- Mine/blast - ABDS
- Low-profile armor systems
An Enduring Mission & New Wins
"We are proud of our accomplishments in the recent year," said
Andrew Bonham, president of Integris
Composites, Inc.
He said Integris has been selected as the sole supplier of
armor systems by Bell Textron Inc. for the V280 Valor, the Army's
platform for its Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA).
It will replace the aging UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, providing
increased speed, range and payloads.
In addition, new MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopters that will replace
the UH-1N Huey for the Air Force incorporate armor designed
and manufactured by Integris. Boeing delivered the first production
aircraft in August, Bonham added.
"In the recent past, Integris armor kits were selected by
Mack Defense for the M917 Heavy Dump Truck, and we are supplying
armor kits for the C-130 J tactical airlifter." Integris continues
to be a major provider of personal protection ballistic plates for
multiple military and tactical law enforcement units, and we are
especially proud of being named the leading supplier of the X-Side
Ballistic Insert (XSBI) plates. Known for their lightweight design,
they offer additional protection along the side of the torso,
explained Bonham.
"Despite changes, our commitment to saving lives remains
unchanged," said Bonham. Integris is an engineering company
and the manufacturer of composite armor for land vehicles,
aircraft, naval craft, protection housing for optronics and other
sensitive technology and personal protection gear.
The company's scope includes the design, development,
production, sales, and services of composite armor solutions
worldwide. Integris' product portfolio consists of panels or
ready-to-install kits made from high-strength materials like
UHMWPE, aramids, ceramics and metal.
