CARLE PLACE, N.Y., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DHB Industries Inc. (Amex: DHB - News), the market leader in the rapidly growing protective body armor industry, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Point Blank Body Armor, Inc. ("Point Blank" -- http://www.pointblankarmor.com), has received a $60 million purchase order for body armor from the U.S. Department of Defense. Point Blank believes this is the largest single order for body armor ever issued by the U.S. Department of Defense.
The Company received the $60 million purchase order for Point Blank's "Interceptor" Outer Tactical Vest (OTV). Point Blank is currently the only military approved provider of Interceptor OTV to the United States armed forces.

DHB Industries also announced that Point Blank has received a $5 million purchase order from the Department of Defense for hard armor gamma plates.

Point Blank's Interceptor OTV is the lightest, most technologically advanced protective vest ever issued in the history of the armed forces of the United States. The Interceptor OTV system includes removable ceramic plates that can stop rifle fire such as the 7.62mm rounds fired by AK-47 rifles common in Iraq and Afghanistan. Older model vests protect against some shrapnel but not high-velocity rifle rounds.

U.S. Armed Forces worldwide are currently wearing Point Blank's Interceptor OTV. Numerous soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan have credited the Interceptor OTV with saving their lives. In a recently published news report, Major General Kevin C. Kiley at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Captain Michael J. Krentz, deputy commander of the National Navel Medical Center, said, "high-tech body armor and state-of-the-art battlefield medical procedures are keeping more seriously wounded soldiers alive than ever before."

Commenting on the announcement, Sandra Hatfield, Chief Operating Officer of DHB Industries, said, "These new orders demonstrate the U.S. Department of Defense's continued confidence in Point Blank's ability to deliver technologically advanced body armor systems to the armed forces of the United States. We have an enormous sense of pride that our state-of-the-art body armor products are protecting and saving the lives of our men and women serving in the armed forces."
