Morgan Advanced Materials offers customized military armored composite crew compartments
Ideal for reconnaissance and tactical vehicles, as well as Special Forces vehicles
Morgan Advanced Materials (Morgan) announces that survivability solutions offered by its Composites and Defence systems business are being used in customized armored composite crew compartments, ideal for reconnaissance and tactical vehicles, as well as Special Forces vehicles.
Morgans crew protection expertise is based upon its composite and ceramic pod technology, which has been developed over the past 20 years. The pod creates a detachable, blast and ballistic-resistant crew compartment, which can be easily integrated into customer-produced chassis and can be modified to provide higher levels of protection if required.
Morgan recently drew on its extensive materials and engineering expertise to design and develop a custom composite crew compartment for Tata Motors Light Armored Multipurpose Vehicle (LAMV) program for the Indian Ministry of Defense. The composite and ceramic pod provides a weight saving of more than 1000 kilograms (2204 pounds), making it less than half the weight of a similarly protected steel structure.
According to Duncan Eldridge, President of Morgan Composites & Defense Systems, "Morgan is a world-leading designer of armored systems for military vehicles, with unrivalled experience in both ceramics and composites, enabling it to deliver crew protection with optimum performance at the lowest possible weight. Our success with the Indian Ministry of Defenses LAMV program is just the latest of example of how we can develop armor system as part of a strategic relationship that opens up opportunities for both companies."
