The Type 45 Destroyers, also known as the Daring class, are central to the UK’s naval defence strategy. They are renowned for their advanced air-defence capabilities, primarily facilitated by the Sea Viper missile system, which integrates the SAMPSON radar and Aster missiles.
Integris will provide lightweight, modular armour systems designed to protect critical areas of the ships without compromising performance. These composite armour solutions are engineered to offer superior protection while maintaining the vessels’ speed and manoeuvrability.
The company’s expertise encompasses the design, testing, and manufacturing of composite armour for various naval platforms. Integris has a history of supplying survivability solutions for international defence programmes, specialising in both large navy ships and small craft.
This contract underscores the Royal Navy’s commitment to maintaining the operational readiness of its fleet. By partnering with Integris, the Navy aims to ensure that the Type 45 Destroyers remain capable of countering contemporary maritime threats.
Integris’s involvement in this programme highlights its role as a key provider of advanced ballistic protection solutions. The company’s modular protection systems are designed to be integrated seamlessly into existing naval structures, offering enhanced survivability without significant alterations to the ships’ design.
