CPS Technologies Corporation announced it received an additional follow-on purchase order, valued at $1.4 million, for HybridTech Armor®? panels from Kinetic Protection, the U.S. Navy's prime contractor. The panels are an integrated component of advanced ballistic shields developed in support of protection system upgrades on Naval Aircraft Carriers.

This recent purchase order, an exercised option on Kinetic's contract with the Department of Defense, will equip additional ships with enhanced ballistic protection for crew-served weapons stations. The metal-encapsulated ceramic armor system provides optimal, lightweight ballistic protection and environmental durability in extreme maritime environments. The HybridTech Armor®?

panels do not degrade in the face of harsh conditions including salt, spray, or sunlight. The integrated system containing HybridTech Armor®? panels is modular, allowing for customized configuration and application across various ship types.

HybridTech Armor®? technology is covered by multiple patents owned by CPS Technologies. The proprietary technology behind HybridTech Armor®?

can be utilized for any application or threat-level requirement. The flexibility of the armor system design and material combination options provide the ability to offer tailored solutions for any customer's unique requirements, addressing Size, Weight, and Performance (SWaP) consideration.
