Maker of bulletproof vests and Kevlar body armor DHB Industries Inc has announced that its subsidiary, Point Blank Body Armor, has received a $14 million delivery order from the US Army Robert Morris Acquisition Center for its Dorsal Axillary Protection System (D.A.P.S.).
Point Blank, an innovator in body armor, recognized the need for new and enhanced body armor technologies and began development in May 2004 of its D.A.P.S. in order to complement Interceptor(TM) Outer Tactical Vest (OTV) System.
US Armed Forces worldwide currently wear Point Blank's Interceptor(TM) OTV, which has been credited for saving the lives of many soldiers. While Point Blank's Interceptor OTV provides protection to the torso from the fragmentary effects of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), its D.A.P.S system provides additional protection by shielding the under arm, shoulder and upper arm areas not currently covered by Interceptor(TM).
DHB Industries Inc's Armor Group is in the protective body armor industry. Its highly recognized subsidiaries, Point Blank Body Armor Inc and Protective Apparel Corporation of America (PACA), are focused on the design, manufacture, and distribution of bullet resistant and protective body armor for military, law enforcement, and corrections in the US and worldwide.
DHB Sports Group produces and markets a comprehensive line of athletic supports and braces, which are merchandised through national superstore chains as well as through private label distributors. It maintains facilities in Westbury, NY, Deerfield Beach, FL, Oakland Park, FL, Pompano Beach, FL, Jacksboro, TN and Arlington, VA.
