NORTON, Mass., Oct. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) today announced the company has received an additional follow-on purchase order valued at $8.8M 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 largest single order in the Company’s 38-year history.

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.
Michael McCormack, President and CEO, said: “We are pleased this enhanced ballistic protection capability continues to be installed on additional Navy ships, enhancing the safety and survivability of the warfighter. We are eager to continue working with Kinetic Protection to support integration across the fleet.”
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 our customer’s unique requirements, addressing Size, Weight, and Performance (SWaP) considerations.
McCormack added,“CPS is seeing positive momentum on several armor opportunities and is continuing to grow our pipeline both domestically and internationally. In addition, we have expanded our international Representative network to drive new development efforts and expand our global footprint. Domestically, we are pursuing contract research and development opportunities for novel integrated armor solutions supporting DoD modernization initiatives.
