LEADING TECHNOLOGY COMPOSITES INTRODUCES THE INDUSTRY’S LIGHTEST WEIGHT BALLISTIC ARMOR SYSTEMS
Stanley, N.C. - May. 28, 2014 - As a composite armor industry veteran, Leading Technology Composites (LTC) is no stranger to light weight ballistic armor solutions. It comes as no surprise that their latest innovations have yielded the industry’s lightest, most robust, armor systems, providing state-of-the-art performance at a significant weight reduction. Todd Lair, LTC President, commented, “By applying our XPS2 system of advanced processing to Dyneema® Force Multiplier Technology materials from DSM Dyneema we’ve been able to achieve unprecedented levels of performance at significantly lower areal densities. The XPS2 process requires that a tightly controlled set of processing parameters be maintained during the consolidation processes. After consolidation, secondary hot and cold processing further improves the ballistic performance with the final result yielding a tremendous leap forward in performance. In our initial integrations of these systems on vehicle platforms we’ve provided our customers with substantial weight savings on the order of 25-45% lighter than legacy systems. Likewise, similar results of 10-20% weight savings have been realized on our personal protection products such as body armor inserts.”
