Alcoa announced today that it will supply ArmX aluminum armor kits to Oshkosh Defense for the Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) A4. The c-kit armor provides blast protection for the underside of the vehicle. The announcement was made today at the AUSA show in Washington, DC.
We made Oshkosh’s design concept for their HEMTT blast shield a reality by producing the 14 subassembly components,” said Dobson. “Our aluminum manufacturing expertise allowed us to take two-inch thick ArmX plate, which is made from the ballistic temper of alloy 7085, and form it into complex shapes. Alcoa’s unique capabilities in bending thick plate while maintaining its strength is unmatched by other manufacturers.”
