Defence Sales Manager Simon Hurst said:

IMPAS is an innovative state of the art product which is suitable for both RHA and aluminium hulls. One of the key benefits is that the solution is a low cost lightweight armour that can be rapidly fitted to any vehicle platform.

We have identified the USA as a key market in which MTL Group can provide a high quality vehicle protection system at affordable prices.

IMPAS LITE AND IMPAS ADVANCE offer an effective alternative lightweight solution to composites ceramics for Stanag Level 1, 2 and 3 protections. IMPAS has been used for many international military upgrade programmes including the M577 and Ridgeback.

MTL Group will also be showcasing its Design for Manufacture (DFM) service. An example of this can be seen on a blast floor which is displayed at AUSA and has been manufactured in one piece using the world?s largest robotic press.

DFM is a service MTL Group offer where we work with customers to identify the 3 core objectives which are lower weight, lower manufacturing cost and improved protection, Hurst said.

MTL Group is a global supplier of parts manufactured from armour in both steel and aluminium offering a full turnkey process ranging from cut and pressed armour kits up to fully fabricated vehicle hulls/cabs.
