Polaris Defense is showcasing two advanced vehicle technologies, designed to address the U.S. military’s need for increased vehicle survivability, at the AUSA 2012 Annual Meeting & Exposition: a lightweight, advanced armor solution and non-pneumatic tires (NPT). The technologies are on display in Polaris Defense booth #3913 through Wednesday at the Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C.

“We take our role as a defense provider very seriously and as a result have identified two critical survivability challenges, invested in the development of effective countermeasures and are delivering them to the customer,” says Richard Haddad, Polaris Defense general manager. “We can meet the military’s need for cost-effective, robust solutions by providing lightweight, advanced armor technology and non-pneumatic tires that will help increase the survivability and prolong the life of the U.S. Military’s expansive tactical wheeled vehicle fleet.”
