HOUSTON, Texas - For over 60 years, BAE Systems has steadfastly delivered on its commitment to America and its allies' militaries and governments by engineering highly survivable armor solutions, including battle proven military and commercial armored vehicles, which have saved countless lives.
BAE Systems is now leveraging many of the same technologies
used to develop armored vehicles for the military, to
strengthen and protect critical public and private
infrastructure, including buildings, bridges and
pipelines.
As part of its new product offering, BAE Systems has signed
an exclusive teaming agreement with Composite Technologies,
a New York-based business with an established reputation in
the critical infrastructure arena. Together, the two
businesses have developed the Infratection Solutions™ line
of infrastructure products and services, and defined their
collective mission as protecting critical infrastructure,
providing security, and saving lives.
"The threat of terrorism made our nation much more aware of
our vulnerabilities, especially in regards to critical
infrastructure," said John Kelly, vice president of
business winning at BAE Systems Land and Armaments. "While
protecting crucial infrastructure is challenging, our
Infratection Solutions business has developed unique and
effective blast and impact resistant armor solutions
specifically engineered to reinforce and strengthen key
buildings, bridges and pipelines."
Composite Technologies played a significant role in the
birth and development of the Infratection Solutions'
product offerings. "While BAE Systems has significant
expertise in developing blast resistant vehicles, Composite
Technologies brings a vast knowledge of and proven
experience in the design, research, testing and development
of products for the infrastructure industry," said Bill
Higbie, President of Composite Technologies.
"Together, with Composite Technologies, we've developed
armor solutions adaptable to numerous applications using
technologies and materials previously reserved only for
military applications," added Kelly.
BAE Systems recently submitted a contract bid for a major,
multi-million dollar infrastructure protection project in
North America, which is one of several potential contracts
that Infratection Solutions could begin work on in
2012.
