State-of-the-art super alloy provides new standard of protection for US warfighters and military vehicles for land and air
TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bourque Industries, Inc. (OTC:BORK.ob - News) today announced that standardized, controlled tests designed to verify the battle-worthiness and superior ballistic protection capability of its metal super alloy, Kryron, were successfully conducted May 5.
Specifically, Bourque’s Kryron Terminator personal ballistic armor line demonstrated best-in-the-industry ballistic protection and exceptional multi-impact capability, stopping several large-caliber, high-speed rounds at exceptionally short ranges. All of this was achieved with weight savings over the current industry-standard personal protection armor plates.
Bourque also successfully demonstrated proof-of-concept for industry-leading, multi-impact and lightweight armor protection for land-based US military tactical vehicles and US military helicopters.
“What these tests demonstrate is what we’ve known for a long time,” said John M. Bourque, inventor of Kryron and founder of Bourque Industries. “Kryron is the best ballistic armor material on the market today, and the clear choice for next-generation armor solutions for air, land, and sea.”
