September 19, 2006 – ArmorWorks,
a leading provider of advanced armor products,
today announced that the U.S. Navy has selected
ArmorWorks as the exclusive provider of upgraded armor for its
Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) hovercraft. The company has
received a $4.6 million initial delivery order to immediately
begin upgrading the armor on the Navy’s LCAC fleet. This
exclusive contract award resulted from an open and competitive
bidding process in which technology and quality were important
factors in the Navy’s selection of ArmorWorks.

versatility of our combat proven C2 ceramic armor
technology to naval applications,” said Bill Perciballi, CEO
and president of ArmorWorks. “We are excited that ArmorWorks’
life-saving products will protect the sailors and marines who
serve on the Navy’s most sophisticated amphibious landing
craft.”
The LCAC provides the Navy with high-speed
capability to transport troops, combat vehicles, and supplies
across land and sea.
