Integris Composites Showcases Innovations at Pacific Future Forum
Company promotes defense armor and survivability options globally
Integris Composites is taking part in the prestigious Pacific Future Forum 2025 (PFF '25), happening aboard the HMS Prince of Wales. This event runs over two days and serves as a hub for nations seeking to enhance defense collaborations.
David Cordova, the chief commercial officer of Integris Composites Inc., expressed the company's commitment to establishing itself as a top-tier global defense armor supplier. He noted, "We're raising the profile of Integris as a preferred global defense armor supplier and survivability innovator." Their goal is to promote innovative solutions that enhance survivability on the battlefield.
PFF '25 is more than just a summit; it is a convergence point for strengthening defense ties among democratic nations across various sectors. This includes technology and trade relationships that are crucial in addressing the strategic challenges faced by allies, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region.
The innovations presented by Integris are particularly vital for modern warfare. Cordova explained the benefits of hybrid composite armor, describing it as an efficient, lightweight material that is adaptable for use in maritime, air, and land vehicles. He remarked, "It's a solution for protecting the technology that's reshaping warfare," emphasizing the importance of equipping defense assets with the highest quality materials.
With a team boasting hundreds of years of combined experience, Integris is well-equipped to tackle the challenges of protective armor development. Over its 30-plus years in the industry, the company has built a reputation as a trusted partner for prominent defense contractors, employing advanced modeling and rapid prototyping to address complex armor needs.
Earlier in the year, Integris Composites secured a contract to supply ballistic protection for a Royal Navy Type 45 destroyer. Cordova shared, "We're partnering with BAE Systems to bring technological innovation, ensuring Type 45 vessels employ the most effective ballistic defenses possible." This marks a significant achievement in their ongoing efforts to enhance naval defense capabilities.
In addition to this, Integris has been chosen as the armor systems supplier for the United States Army's Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft helicopter program, as well as the MH-139 Grey Wolf partnership with Boeing. These selections demonstrate the growing trust in Integris' products across various military platforms.
The forum, hosted aboard the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, provides an extraordinary backdrop for discussion, allowing leaders across political, military, and industrial sectors to converge. Cordova believes, "This event convenes a diverse mix of high-level political, diplomatic, military, industrial and academic representatives. We believe it creates an ideal environment for exchanging perspectives on the growing importance of composites for armor and survivability solutions."
