Bourque Industries Inc (BORK)

[Flatcat]

Questions for the ORB:

Interesting that report on facebook says Bourque is already making helmets.

Do helmets have a different certification than body armor?

When NIJ releases the Bourque Industries applied for certification is it for a finished design of body armor or for Kryron as a material. I suspect it is for a finished item.

Was NIJ certification requested for both body armor and helmet or just body armor?

It would make sense that helmet manufacturing is already in progress if the certification included the helmet, AND the higher priority for DoD and/or police is the helmet, AND there are funds available to purchase of the helmets as soon as NIJ cert is out. This would be a rapid path to revenue.

I think Bourque may concentrate on the most profitable product first. Here, profitable could means income or the ability to grow the company. It might be the helmet over the body armor. I am sure they have smart people who look at all the facts and decide what to do first.

Some seem to think Bourque should should have finished everything yesterday. If you have successfully managed a $100 million, or above, program with DoD from design to production then I think Bourque might listen. Right now, they appear to be doing most things in line with what an experienced program manager would do.
