PHOENIX, June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- AmSafe(R) Inc., a leading global provider of

TARIAN is capable of defeating the same threats as existing bar or slat armor,
but at significantly reduced weight which allows improvements to the vehicle's
protection elsewhere. Designed to withstand the rigors of the battlefield, the
TARIAN system is fitted to the UK Army Heavy Equipment Transporters which are
currently in use on operations in Afghanistan. Given its unique design and
lightweight properties, TARIAN is also easy to replace if it is damaged in the
field.

The technology behind TARIAN is the result of a close collaboration with the
UK Ministry of Defense (MoD). Developed as a modular system, TARIAN can be
configured to a wide range of vehicle and static applications.

"Our strong partner relationship with UK MoD and third party contributors has
enabled AmSafe to utilize its lightweight technologies developed for aerospace
applications and apply them toward an innovative light weight threat
protection solution that is an effective replacement for bar and slat armor.
This collaborative approach to UK military capability development is a great
example of the practical application of the principles outlined in the UK's
Defense Industrial Strategy," stated Neal McKeever, director and general
manager of defense for AmSafe Bridport.
