Mission Ready to Develop Armor Prototype for U.S. Army

By Glenn Johnson

Mission Ready Solutions Inc., a government-contracting-solutions company, said Tuesday it has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Army to develop a prototype for body armor.

The Vancouver, British Columbia-based company said its innovation and manufacturing division, Protect the Force Inc., would fabricate the armor for the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command -- Soldier Center.

The hardened arm protective yoke, which is a sleeve that covers from the hand to the elbow, is one of the only ballistic protective items in the army development pipeline since PTF's Flex9Armor combat shirt, the company said.

Financial terms were not disclosed.
