Integris Composites has been selected as an armor partner by American Rheinmetall for the U.S. Army's roughly $45 billion XM30 Combat Vehicle program, which aims to replace the M2 Bradley as a core part of Army Armored Brigade Combat Teams. American Rheinmetall is one of two prime contractors developing the platform.
Integris's CEO said the program will help modernize the Army's fleet and strengthen the domestic defense industrial base. At the AUSA Annual Meeting, the company also showcased its "Accelerated Innovation" framework, which combines decades of ballistic data with modeling, simulation, and rapid prototyping to speed up armor development; its chief commercial officer said the approach draws on over 30 years of tested material combinations.
Integris holds Tier One supplier status with several defense primes and already supplies armor for programs including the Royal Navy's Type 45 Destroyer, the U.S. Army's FLRAA aircraft, the Boeing MH-139 helicopter, C-130J transports, and the CV90 combat vehicle. The company operates facilities in Ohio, California and Virginia.
