KANPUR, India - Friday, September 12th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE) MKU, a leading manufacturer of ballistic protection solutions
for personnel and platforms has introduced the new 6th Generation
ballistic protection technology Ammoflex-6 and Polyshield-6 that help to
reduce the weight and thickness of personal body armour by 40%. This
reduction not only increases the agility and speed of the soldiers but
also greatly reduces stress and enhances endurance.
A
personal ballistic vest manufactured using 6th generation Ammoflex 6
technology which conforms to the stringent norms as per NIJ 0101.06
Level II weighs 1.5 Kg, and Level 3 of VPAM BSW 2006 weighs only 1.3 kg.
An armour insert for Rifle protection made using 6th generation
Polyshield 6 technology weighs less than 850g.
These
6th Generation protection solutions will be showcased at the upcoming
exhibitions- SMM in Hamburg, Germany (9-12 Sep), GPEC in Germany (9-11
Sep) and ADEX in Azerbaijan (11-13 Sep).
MKU has always
been at the forefront of technology and has been striving to develop
newer, lighter and more flexible ballistic protection solutions for the
modern soldier. The technical team working at MKU in Germany and India
has developed Ammoflex-6 and Polyshield-6 technologies after rigorous
R&D and trials. These solutions are 40% lighter and thinner and much
more flexible than standard solutions. According to Mr. Neeraj Gupta,
Managing Director, “this reduction in weight and bulk will be a boon to
the soldier as he would be better equipped to carry additional
ammunition, batteries, rations or mission critical gear without
increasing burden or related stress.”
Body armour made
using Ammoflex-6 and Polyshield-6 offers excellent multi-hit protection
at lowest possible weights. These conform to the stringent NIJ 0101.06
and VPAM standards and provide the soldier with unrestricted movement,
flexibility and comfort.
Such solutions are ideal for
Special Forces which need to carry out quick and fast missions in
unforeseen and often difficult scenarios.
Over the
years MKU has introduced several pioneering products which employ
leading edge technology. These include Instavest, a quick release body
armour and Boltfree technology for helmet. MKU was setup in 1985 and
till date has provided protection to over 1.5 million soldiers and 1500
platforms. Its products are used and trusted by 230 forces in over 100
countries worldwide including the UN and NATO.
