TUCSON, Ariz., July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bourque Industries,
Inc. (OTC:BORK) is pleased to release the following testing results
and validation of its product Kryron Terminator Armor on behalf of
Ultra Armoring LLC.
ULTRA ARMORING LLC
Ultra Armoring, LLC of Shelby,
NC is a current contract award winner for the USSOCOM NSCV
(Non Standard Commercial Vehicle) initiative. Ultra Armoring
specializes in the design and manufacture of state-of-the-art up
armored vehicles for the worlds most advanced warfighters.
Over recent months, Ultra has been working with industry in the
design and adaptation of highly advanced armor materials in efforts
to increase occupant survivability as well as lower overall vehicle
weight.
"Increasing mission profile and crew survivability through
advancements in armor design and material selection will always
remain our highest priority," says VP of Research and
Development Don Whitmire.
Bourque Industries' Kryronized aluminum, or Kryron, is a
proprietary alloy and the optimal material for ballistic armor
plates. Compared to industry-standard personal protection ceramic
plates, Kryron Terminator armor is lighter, far more durable, and
completely eliminates shatter, spall, and ricochet.
"We (Ultra Armoring) have been in test validation at our
private range to better understand how we can apply Kryon to
existing fleets and future vehicle programs. Being able to
cut, form and weld a material like this makes for very interesting
discussions as this is a real departure from current armoring
trends," says Whitmire.
Kryon has shown dramatic improvements in true multi hit
capabilities for larger threat testing over current ceramic and
other composite solutions.
"Kryon has demonstrated some very unique capabilities to
defeat extreme multi hit impacts from AP (Armor Piercing)
projectiles. Shot spacing has been less than 1inch without
catastrophic failure at rated velocity and distance."
