Integris is partnering with  (London, U.K.) to bring technological innovation, ensuring Type 45 vessels will employ the most effective ballistic defenses possible. The initial order was confirmed in October 2024.

“This project demonstrates our commitment to delivering top-tier defense solutions and reinforces the value of our longstanding relationship with BAE Systems,” says Steve Wilde, Integris U.K. sales manager.

“This is also the latest in a series of major contract wins, reflecting our worldwide capability in providing survivability protection to critical defense systems,” adds Cordova. He notes that just months before the Royal Navy award, Integris was selected as the armor systems supplier for the U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) helicopter program.

Integris Composites has earned Tier 1 supplier credentials with aerospace OEMs and prime defense contractors globally. “Beyond the FLRAA contract, we have contracts for the MH 139 Grey Wolf with Boeing” Cordova continues. “These contracts reflect the strength of our partnerships and the trust that top defense companies place in Integris Composites.”
