BAE Systems has joined forces with New Delhi-based Anjani Technoplast to bid for a $35 million contract for supply of 59,000 protective jackets to the Indian Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) using a material called Tensylon.
The BAE aims to deliver the latest, lightest and most cost-effective survivability products and personnel protection materials to India, said a company statement.
As part of the relationship, Anjani would manufacture protective equipment using Tensylon, a versatile, high performance polyethylene ballistic material exclusively developed by BAE Systems to make survivability products, such as body armour and vehicle armour, even lighter and stronger.
Earlier this month, Anjani submitted bullet resistant jacket samples - using Tensylon ballistic material consolidated into vest inserts - to CRPF for its current bid of 59,000 protective jackets.
If Anjani is awarded the contract, the bullet resistant jackets will be made using BAE Systems Tensylon material at Anjanis Greater Noida facility in India, said a top official.
Our partnership with Anjani is another solid example of BAE Systems long term commitment to India, said Tony Russell, president, Security & Survivability, BAE Systems.
Bringing Tensylon ballistic tape to India is a critical first step forward for our two strong companies, he noted.
Together, with Anjanis established production base in India; and BAE Systems global presence and continuous investment in survivability technologies, we are collectively leveraging our strengths, talents and resources to better protect Indias police forces and support Indias first responders, he added.
Initially, the relationship will focus on integrating Tensylon ballistic fibre and tape into various products for Indian defence and security forces.
BAE Systems is also evaluating manufacturing other survivability systems and accessories in India, including the Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment (MOLLE) System, which improves mission efficiency by allowing for customization in the field without compromising mobility or readiness.
Since 1994, Anjani, through its armouring division, has been committed to developing robust and modern day body armour solutions for Indias defence and security forces.
Our partnership with BAE Systems to process Tensylon tape in India will bring the latest technology in the field of armouring to India, said RK Gupta, managing director of Anjani Technoplast. It is a proven and cost-effective technology, and our independent tests have confirmed the superior performance of Tensylon ballistic tape, he added.
Tensylon, as a ballistic application, has already proven its combat effectiveness in Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Available as both a fibre and tape, its versatility and performance make the Tensylon product an ideal survivability solution for tracked and tactical wheeled vehicles, commercial armoured vehicles and individual protection equipment, such as helmets and body armour.
Representatives from Anjani and BAE Systems will be on hand to discuss the partnership at Defexpo which begins on Monday in New Delhi.
