Integris Composites Attends International Sea Power Conference Highlighting Lightweight Armor Solutions

OSLO, Norway, Nov. 11, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Integris Composites, a global engineering company specializing in composite armor and survivability systems, is attending the International Sea Power Conference (ISPC 2026) aboard HMS Prince of Wales in Oslo, Norway. This conference, which took place yesterday, brings together naval leaders, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss maritime security and the future of naval fleets.

The company is also participating in the Atlantic Future Forum, which follows the conference on the same ship from November 11 to 12. Integris is a Silver Partner of the ISPC, highlighting its lightweight composite armor solutions that protect ships and crews without the weight of traditional steel armor. The company's products are currently deployed on various naval vessels, including Finland's new Pohjanmaa-class corvettes and the Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyers.

Andrew Bonham, president and CEO of Integris Composites, emphasized the importance of protecting crewed ships in the face of evolving threats.

Integris' systems integrate ceramics, ultra-high-strength polyethylene, and aramid fibers, high-performance unidirectional (UD) laminates, and sometimes steel, to provide protection at a fraction of the weight of current armor systems. Lower weight supports speed and maneuverability, fuel economy, mission range, and payload flexibility, according to Bonham. The company's naval protection solutions are deployed on a wide range of vessels worldwide, including patrol craft, corvettes, amphibious platforms, and command vessels. Integris is also experimenting with emerging materials such as graphene and new high-strength fibers.

For the Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyer upkeep program, Integris is supplying new and replacement ballistic protection systems in collaboration with BAE Systems.

Integris has operations in North America, Europe, and Asia, with manufacturing in Denmark, France, and the United States, and offices in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The company took part in the Pacific Future Forum aboard HMS Prince of Wales in Tokyo in August 2025. Integris' systems are designed to protect vessels, aircraft, land vehicles, and sensor technologies without adding significant weight, making them ideal for modern naval operations.

The threat to ships has widened, with attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Ukraine's campaign in the Black Sea showing how drones and missiles can put pressure on global chokepoints. In the High North and the Arctic, allied navies are operating more often, for longer, and in harsher conditions.

Integris' systems integrate advanced materials to provide protection at a fraction of the weight of current armor systems. Lower weight supports speed and maneuverability, fuel economy, mission range, and payload flexibility, Bonham noted. The company's naval protection solutions are deployed on a wide range of vessels worldwide, including patrol craft, corvettes, amphibious platforms, and command vessels. Integris is also experimenting with emerging materials such as graphene and new high-strength fibers.

Integris is supplying its naval ballistic protective systems for four next-generation vessels being built by Rauma Marine Constructions for Finland's major naval modernization project, Squadron 2020. The Pohjanmaa-class corvettes are intended to secure year-round maritime defense in the icy Baltic Sea.

For the Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyer upkeep program, Integris is supplying new and replacement ballistic protection systems in collaboration with BAE Systems.

Integris has a strong presence in the global market, with operations in North America, Europe, and Asia, and manufacturing in Denmark, France, and the United States, and offices in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The company's reputation for innovative survivability solutions across military, law enforcement, and security applications worldwide is well-established.
