TYSONS CORNER, Va. - Floridant -- Integris Composites is participating in the Pacific Future Forum 2025 (PFF '25), Aug. 29–30, aboard HMS Prince of Wales in Tokyo.

"We're raising the profile of Integris as a preferred global defense armor supplier and survivability innovator," said David Cordova, chief commercial officer for Integris Composites Inc.

PFF '25 is an international summit dedicated to strengthening defense, security, technology and trade relationships among democratic nations. The forum helps shape responses to geopolitical trends and strategic challenges confronting the United Kingdom and its key allies, including Japan, the United States and Indo-Pacific partners.

"We want to raise awareness of hybrid composite armor as a cost-effective, lightweight, precision-specified material for maritime, aircraft and land vehicles," Cordova said. "It's a solution for protecting the technology that's reshaping warfare."

Cordova said Integris' worldwide team brings hundreds of years of combined expertise including data-based modeling, design engineering capabilities and rapid prototyping to protective armor challenges. In just over 30 years, he said the company has become a trusted partner for leading defense contractors.

Earlier this year, Integris announced it was selected to provide ballistic protection systems for a Royal Navy Type 45 destroyer. "We're partnering with BAE Systems to bring technological innovation, ensuring Type 45 vessels employ the most effective ballistic defenses possible," Cordova said. The initial order was confirmed in October 2024. Recently Integris was chosen as the armor systems supplier for the U.S. Army's Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft helicopter program and for the MH-139 Grey Wolf with Boeing, among other awards.

PFF '25 is taking place aboard the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales during its visit to Tokyo as part of the Carrier Strike Group deployment to the Indo-Pacific.
