Integris Composites Named Armor Partner for U.S. Army's XM30 Combat Vehicle

WASHINGTON - EntSun -- Integris Composites has been named an armor partner for American Rheinmetall in the U.S. Army's $45 billion XM30 Combat Vehicle program, positioning the company at the forefront of next‑generation survivability solutions.

The announcement comes as Integris showcases its advanced composite armor at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition, Oct. 13–15 in Washington at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. You can find Integris at Booth 2717 in Hall ABC.

The XM30 program represents a $45 billion modernization effort. "This transformational program will deliver unmatched capabilities to modernize the Army's maneuver force, strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base and create high-tech American jobs," said Andrew Bonham, CEO of Integris Composites. "We are pleased to be a part of this."

American Rheinmetall is one of two U.S. defense prime contractors selected by the U.S. Army to compete to design, develop, build, and support the XM30 Combat Vehicle.  As the official replacement for the aging M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, the XM30 will serve as the backbone to the Army's Armored Brigade Combat Teams for decades.

Accelerated Innovation in Survivability

"During AUSA, we're displaying our advanced composite armor solutions and presenting our proprietary Accelerated Innovation," said David Cordova, chief commercial officer.
