    QinetiQ US has won a contract from Integris Composites to support the U.S. Army’s Future Long Range Assault Aircraft program.

    The company will provide systems engineering and integration support using its LAST Armor solution.

    QinetiQ has supplied aircraft armor for over 20 years. Its LAST Armor system offers lightweight ballistic protection for fixed- and rotary-wing platforms and has been used since Operation Desert Storm.

    The system is currently installed on over 40 aircraft types across 16 allied countries, including use by the U.S. military, international partners, OEMs and law enforcement agencies.

    QinetiQ US is working with longtime partner Integris Composites to deliver a customized armored survivability solution for the U.S. Army’s Future Vertical Lift program, according to Christopher Forrest, executive vice president of advanced robotics and mission solutions at QinetiQ US.

    “Utilizing high performance fibers and advanced ceramics, LAST Armor® solutions offer proven traditional ballistic protection for mission success,” he added.

    Integris Composites, formerly TenCate Advanced Armour, has provided solutions in form, safety, dependability and survivability for over 25 years.

    “All of us at Integris are proud to be part of the team developing what will become the U.S. Army’s new long-range assault aircraft,” said Andrew Bonham, president of Integris Composites, Inc.
