Britain helping fund ceramic armor facility
LONDON, Sept. 16 () -- A facility to develop ceramic armor components for protection of personnel and vehicles is being established in Britain.The center is a project of the Ministry of Defense's Defense Science and Technology Laboratory and Kennametal Manufacturing U.K. Ltd., which are jointly funding the million-dollar facility."I am pleased that this investment in a state-of-the art facility in South Wales, the largest in Europe,[url=http://www.christianlouboutindiscountmen.com/]christian louboutin discount[/url], will further advance the United Kingdom's freedom of action in advanced ceramic armor," Minister for Defense Equipment, Support and Technology Philip Dunne said. "This contract is a good example of the Ministry of Defense using its science and technology budget to develop innovation in the U.K. defense sector." Added Professor Peter Brown of Dstl: "This joint investment is the culmination of four years' work. The ability to make ceramic samples large enough for full-scale impact tests and the very significant reduction in time taken to produce a sample mean that we can investigate a much wider range of innovative formulations faster and more cheaply than before."
