Revision to deliver bullet resistant plates to Canadian Forces

Revision Military has been awarded a contract to supply new, lighter weight ballistic plates for the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND).

Under the contract, Revision Military will deliver Batlskin bullet resistant plates in addition to special training plates along with a carrier in which soldiers can readily transport this equipment, when not needed to be worn.

In addition to lightening their in-theatre load, the body armour will provide superior, highly durable protection for the Canadian Forces.

Revision Military CEO Jonathan Blanshay said the Canada has selected Revision to supply soldiers with plates that exceed the highest industry standards and the company’s rigorous Quality Assurance Plans.

"With significant investment in facility, machinery, equipment, and state-of-the-art ballistic testing laboratories, Revision has entered an exciting new phase of our growth strategy," Blanshay added.

Currently, Revision delivers ballistic eyewear including spectacles and goggles, as well as best-in-class helmets for the Canadian DND, all in service of protecting Canadian soldiers.

"We expect that this contract will be a springboard for gaining additional ballistic plate business from other advanced militaries in the coming months and years," Blanshay continued.

The company will commence deliveries in April 2014 as part of the contract, which includes five option years.
