re "Sound Unfamiliar" ?????? "Ultra Armoring, LLC of Shelby, NC is a current contract award winner for the USSOCOM NSCV (Non Standard Commercial Vehicle) initiative." "We (Ultra Armoring) have been in test validation at our private range to better understand how we can apply Kryon to existing fleets and future vehicle programs. Being able to cut, form and weld a material like this makes for very interesting discussions as this is a real departure from current armoring trends,"

"Kryon has demonstrated some very unique capabilities to defeat extreme multi hit impacts from AP (Armor Piercing) projectiles. Shot spacing has been less than 1 inch without catastrophic failure at rated velocity and distance."

My added comments:

Just try to cover 100% of a metal formed vehicle body with multiple ceramic plates! It "ain't" going to happen! Try to cover 100% of a metal formed vehicle body with Kryron material that can be cut, formed and welded. YES - with Kryron.

Cost of maintenance to inspect ceramic plates for damage - extremely HIGH! Cost to replace ceramic plates (probably the whole vehicle) at expiration of current rated lifetime (just like ceramic body armor) - HIGH. There is no current ceramic plate (based on NIJ testing) that has the lifetime rating equal to a vehicle lifetime! Durability of ceramic v.s. Kryron - not even close.

Cost of protection maintenance for a Kryron based vehicle compared to ceramic based vehicle- LOW!
