Case Study

NP Aerospace, a company which has grown rapidly in recent years to become a world leader in its field, is a great example of the UK defence industry providing Britain's armed forces with the world class equipment they deserve.

The Osprey body armour is considered amongst the very best personal protection equipment available to troops anywhere in the world. The days of uncomfortable and ineffective body armour are long gone, and Osprey has proved its worth many times with British troops around the globe.

The state-of-the-art armour is made using several different sections to provide maximum protection for the wearer whilst also allowing free movement. The shape of the vest is designed to spread the impact of the projectile across as wide an area as possible so that the wearer is not winded or otherwise incapacitated. The defence industry works closely with colleagues in the armed forces to ensure that the equipment we produce is of the highest quality and has the best possible levels usability as well.

So it's not just the fighter jets and warships that the defence industry provides Britain's troops with, but also the critical personal equipment that contributes so much to their effective operation.
