![]() TenCate Advanced Armour Denmark has signed a cooperation agreement relating to the development of the Active Blast Defence System (ABDS™) patent and the right of first refusal to acquire the majority of ABDS Aps. Troops in theatre need the best and most advanced armour protection for the job in hand.

The patent holders together with TenCate Advanced Armour will further develop the system from scale models to a full-scale demonstrator. Since there is an urgent need for this innovation, the partners will actively work together to offer the market a technical solution in a relatively short period of time. This they will do in close cooperation with selected OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers) in Europe and North America. Parts of the system are likely to be implemented as upgrade kits for existing vehicles from these OEM’s and are expected to generate sales as early as the fiscal year 2011. The participation of TenCate in ‘active armour’ is complementary to its present armour solutions in the vehicle protection business. The ABDS™ patent is classified. Due to the sensitivity of the information, no further details will be provided. |
