CPS Technologies Corporation HybridTech Armor® Strike Plates Undergoing U.S. Navy Sea Trials
December 04 2017 - 8:00AM
CPS Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq:CPSH) is pleased to announce
that a jointly-developed integrated armor solution incorporating
CPS’ HybridTech Armor® is now undergoing sea trials for a key U.S.
Navy requirement.
After several years of joint development, with
original funding from a Navy SBIR, prime contractor Kinetic
Protection has delivered an integrated armor solution to the U.S.
Navy, incorporating and based upon CPS’ HybridTech Armor strike
faces, which meets the exacting requirements of ballistic
protection, light weight, cost and durability for this Navy
application. The primary objective of the current sea trials,
which will last into 2018, is to confirm environmental
durability.
The Kinetic Protection partnership is a primary
example of CPS’ strategy of teaming with multiple armor integrators
worldwide to develop integrated armor solutions which are enabled
by the remarkable properties of CPS’ HybridTech Armor. These
solutions are comprised of several layers of material integrated
together with HybridTech Armor strike faces. The HybridTech Armor
itself consists of ceramic tiles completely enveloped and
mechanically and chemically bonded to lightweight and stiff
aluminum metal matrix composites.
Tom Breen, CPS Technologies Senior VP of Sales
and Marketing, commented, “CPS Technologies HybridTech Armor
components result in a remarkably lighter armor than traditional
steel offerings. Using our patented, metal-encapsulated solution
enhances state of the art ceramic performance while also providing
superior, yet cost effective environmental durability that is
measured in decades instead of years. Our modular designs have been
field tested and proven to defeat threats as high as STANAG 6. CPS
has an excellent track record supporting multiple branches of the
US Military as well as domestic and international prime contractors
and armor integrators. Working with technology innovators such as
Kinetic Protection, LLC., continues that long string of
successes.”
Kinetic Protection’s President Erik Crawford
adds, “Kinetic Protection has been identifying and delivering
real-world anti-terror/force-protection solutions for our customers
through the years and the demands are high. We in part have
been able to achieve this through valued and vital partnerships
with the likes of CPS Technologies. This is very much a
contact sport, and we are thrilled to take the field with CPS on
our team!”
