Solidica Awarded $1.6M to Advance Smart Armor Technology for United States Marine Corps Ground Vehicles Solidica, Inc. announced the award of a $1.6 million, twelve month contract with the United States Marine Corps to advance Solidica's proprietary Gradient-Modulus Energy Absorbing Material (GMEAM) technology. The focus of the effort will be to validate the utility of GMEAM to the Marine Corps demanding field requirements and to explore optimal platform configurations. Solidica is well aware of the critical needs of the military for effective armor solutions and is proud to be able to bring its GMEAM technology to the table. A unique element of the program will be the integration of the new armor tiles with Solidica's Pantheon vehicle sensing, diagnostic and telematic system. The integrated demonstration will showcase the ability of live damage assessment via a wireless grid of Solidica's Solo(TM) smart sensor nodes embedded throughout the armor. This program further underscores Solidica's ability to deliver rugged solutions -- armor, wireless, or otherwise -- into our customers' harsh environments and demanding market applications. Program focused on development of retrofit armor kits for Light Armored Vehicles. |
