TYSONS CORNER, Va. - TelAve -- Integris Composites, the global leader in armor protection for the world's elite military units has been selected by Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. company, as a supplier of armor systems for the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA).

This tiltrotor aircraft is the U.S. Army's selected platform for its FLRAA weapons system. It will provide advanced capability well beyond that of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter with increased speed, range and payloads.

"We are grateful to be selected by Bell," said Andrew Bonham, president of Integris Composites, Inc., the U.S. component of Integris Composites ─ which last year became the new name for TenCate Advanced Armour, continuing a quarter-century legacy as a resource for form, safety, dependability and survivability.

"We are pleased to include Integris Composites on the team for its protective armor capabilities for the FLRAA," said Ryan Ehinger, senior vice president and program director for FLRAA, Bell. "Bell and the FLRAA team are committed to delivering not just more speed and range to our soldiers, but more survivability and reliability as well," Ehinger stated.

A Storied Legacy

"Integris becomes a part of the latest chapter in the storied legacy of utility aircraft, a lineage that traces its roots back to the iconic Vietnam-era 'Huey' (UH-1 Iroquois) and the present-day UH-60 Black Hawk, which has faithfully served as the Army's Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft (UTTAS) since 1979," said David Cordova, chief commercial officer for Integris, Inc.

"FLRAA is a marvel of engineering that promises to redefine the boundaries of speed, agility, operational versatility/survivability," Cordova observed.
