At AUSA 2014, Oran Safety Glass (OSG) is exhibiting ADI technology for transparent armor. OSG’s new ADI technology replaces the conventional PC No-spall (shrapnel) plastic layer in transparent armour. The no-spall layer is typically attached to the ‘safe side’ of the glass, but it is subject to delamination, requires careful maintenance and reducing the lifecycle of the transparent armour.
OSG’s ADI technology has a high ‘Technology Readiness Level' meaning it has been tested and certified as ready for field deployment. Indeed it has already been used in some European military projects. ADI technology delivers the same level of protection while removing the need for plastic, effectively doubling the lifecycle of the transparent armor from 3-5 years to 5 -9 years.
Transparent armour is used in a large variety of military and police armoured vehicles to provide superior situational awareness while preserving the security of vehicle occupants.
OSG also exhibits its ScreeneX in Washington. ScreeneX is one of the world’s first windshields with a built in LCD screen, suitable for use in military and civilian vehicles and all types of transportation platforms. “The feature-rich ScreeneX digital display can be positioned anywhere within the vehicle’s windscreen and it is fully integrated into the screen’s structure,” said Daniel Cohen, CEO of OSG. “The ScreeneX can display high-resolution video, text and graphics including maps and video feeds from a control base or from sensors and cameras mounted on the vehicle. Particularly in military settings it offers dramatically improved situational awareness while maximising the space within the driver’s compartment. The ability to effectively display night vision adds to the system’s capabilities. These advantages are delivered while maintaining superior levels of safety. The rugged ScreeneX features an overlap of armored steel, ensuring no decrease in the protection level of the vehicle’s window. In addition, the ScreeneX’s military-grade screen is fully protected from ballistics, theft or vandalism.”
OSG is also displaying its line of Ultra-Light Weight technologies, which are 30% lighter than those currently on the market, according to the company, and a light weight advanced materials frame for transparent armour, which is lighter than steel, equally durable, strong and cost effective, compared to conventional technologies, said OSG.
OSG is a leading supplier of armoured windows for the MRAP and M-ATV family of vehicles for the US Army, and a supplier of armoured windows for the FHTV. OSG has also been involved with the PVP for the French Army, the HUSKY - for the British Army, ZETROS and ACTROS for Daimler, DINGO for KMW, MAN for the German Army and the ASTRA – for the Italian Army.
