Point Blank Enterprises has been awarded a $215.9 million body armour contract by United States Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM). The Marine Corps Low Intensity Threat Environment (LITE) body armour is a new small arms protective insert designed to improve survivability and mobility of marines by maximising ballistic protection at reduced weight.

“We are honoured to be selected by the United State Marine Corps to provide this new lightweight body armor solution. Reducing marine burden by providing innovative and lightweight armour solutions along with our high quality manufacturing capabilities is our expertise,” said Brian Kopan, senior vice president of engineering and technology in a press release by the company. “Whether we are designing armour systems for vehicles or individual protection equipment, our mission is always focused on saving the life of those that protect us.”

For over 43 years, Point Blank Enterprises, Inc has been the industry’s leading innovator of advanced products and designs engineered to maximise ballistic protection. The company has shipped millions of body armour solutions to America’s service men and women, law enforcement professionals, corrections officers, federal agents, and other key national and international customers. Point Blank will be exhibiting the full range of armour systems at this year’s AUSA Annual Meeting and Symposium in Washington, DC from October 14-16, 2019. (PC)
