AmSafe Bridport is displaying its TARIAN rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) Armour system on stand 6503 and, fitted on a vehicle, at Kongsberg stand 1407. This lightweight and durable armour is fitted to General Dynamics Land Systems’ eight-wheeled combat vehicle demonstrator (WCVD) that is representative of both the STRYKER and LAV platforms. The WCVD is located on the Kongsberg stand. This is the first time AmSafe Bridport’s latest technological advances in passive RPG armour have been shown mounted to a vehicle platform at AUSA. Previously, this vehicle, along with its TARIAN fit, was displayed at the Warfighters Conference in Fort Benning, Georgia where it received substantial interest.
Developed in close collaboration with the UK Ministry of Defense (UK MoD), the TARIAN system has been extensively tested – including over 800 live shots – in the USA, UK and Europe. This testing verified TARIAN’s high level of performance and multi-hit capability. TARIAN was first deployed operationally in 2009 and it is now fitted to a variety of British military vehicles, including those in service in Afghanistan, following a $17 million order from the UK MoD in 2012.
