Permali
Gloucester Ltd has recently been awarded a contract to supply
composite ballistic armour panels to Supacat. The panels will provide
ballistic protection on a specific HMT Extenda vehicle being designed
and built for a major order that Supacat will be delivering in
2017/18.
The
contract was won following a competition, which required Permali to
demonstrate ballistic performance, against a demanding set of
requirements, in the wide range of environmental temperatures the
vehicle will be exposed to. The performance parameters had to be
demonstrated whilst remaining within a tightly controlled system
weight budget.
Stu
Olden, Sales Manager for Land Systems at Permali commented: “This
is a significant contract for Permali. It is the first awarded to us
by Supacat, a leading specialist military vehicle designer famous
for its high mobility vehicles. Measured against credible
competition, we have demonstrated that, as a UK SME, Permali
maintains its position as a world leader in the development of
composite technology for military platforms.”
Ben
Gaffney, Supacat’s Deputy Head, New Programmes commented:
“Permali's comprehensive bid response, together with their at-risk
testing and engineering design activity, gave us the requisite levels
of confidence to place the order. We’re looking forward to working
with Permali to deliver this exciting new addition to the HMT vehicle
offering.”
