CPS Technologies Corporation announced the company has received an additional follow-on purchase order valued at $8.8 million for HybridTech Armor® panels from Kinetic Protection, the Navy's prime contractor. The panels are an integrated component of advanced ballistic shields developed in support of ballistic protection system upgrades on U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers and other surface ships. This recent purchase order will equip additional Navy ships with enhanced ballistic protection for crew-served weapons stations.

This order by Kinetic Protection represents the large single order in the Company's 38-year history. This metal-encapsulated ceramic armor system provides the optimal combination of ballistic protection, lightweight, and environmental durability in extreme maritime environments. The HybridTech Armor® panels do not degrade in harsh conditions like salt, spray, or sunlight.

The integrated system containing HybridTech Armor® panels is modular, allowing for system 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 customer's unique requirements, addressing Size, Weight, and Performance (SWaP) considerations.
