NEXT GENERATION MILITARY SOLUTIONS
Since exhibiting at DSEI in 2023 NP Aerospace has experienced a period of rapid growth and achieved mid-tier company status.
Having acquired certain assets of Jankel Armouring Limited and opened a new 5.73-acre facility in Coventry, NP Aerospace has been taking on increasingly more complex projects from a portfolio of large military customer contracts. With a significantly larger exhibition stand for 2025, the full NP Aerospace team will be showcasing their new portfolio at DSEI.
Vehicle Showcase
NP Aerospace will be presenting their capabilities in vehicle architecture upgrades and assembly programmes, highlighting engineering and development expertise from their work with global defence organisations such as UK, US, Belgium, Canada and Sweden.
GM Defense is teaming with NP Aerospace to pursue the UK Ministry of Defence’s Light Mobility Vehicle (LMV) requirements as part of the Land Mobility Programme (LMP) and is coexhibiting at Booth N2-410 to showcase a new vehicle for the first time in Europe. The team is working together to address broader opportunities across NATO and allied nations.
From interior fittings, to complete suspension overhauls, the NP Aerospace Vehicle Systems, Services & Spares (VSSS) team can upgrade any vehicle to the exact specification military users need. The offering includes post design support services and through life support to optimise operational capability of in-service military platforms, including obsolescence and configuration management. The VSSS team will be at the NP Aerospace stand, sharing their expertise and details of the latest projects.
A project being presented at the show is the UK MOD’s Project TAMPA, an additive manufacturing accelerator programme aimed at 3D printing military parts on-demand.
Integration Development
The VSSS business has over 30 years of experience leading complex military vehicle integrations and support programmes, managing a combined fleet of 18,000+ vehicles. The NP Aerospace R&D and project teams work closely with vehicle OEMs and technology partners to integrate mission systems in areas such as advanced weapon systems, C4ISR and electrification.
For example, NP Aerospace is working with Leonardo to integrate Falcon Shield on an upgraded British Army Mastiff XC platform. Falcon Shield is a rapidly deployable solution designed to tackle threats from uncrewed aerial systems (UAS).
The UK Ministry of Defence’s LMV, which NP Aerospace is pursuing in partnership with GM Defense, is intended to replace aging vehicles with a Common Based Platform. With dedicated UK facilities and a team that understands global market requirements, NP Aerospace offers UK vehicle integration, meeting UK safety standards, for global export.
Platform Survivability
NP Aerospace offers world-leading armour systems for the protection of people and assets; with solutions trusted worldwide to deliver ultra lightweight, multi hit protection.
The team will be showcasing its expertise in complex platform survivability systems at this year’s event. This includes capabilities in lightweight vehicle armour and survivability solutions including armoured personnel transport, truck cabs, civilian armoured vehicles (CAV), blast seating, add-on armour systems and composite pod solutions.
Protecting land, sea and air, NP Aerospace offers an extensive portfolio of lightweight add on-armour up to and including STANAG 4569 Level 6. STANAG 3 and STANAG 4 vehicle armour developed in partnership with Volvo and other leading OEMs will be on display, in addition to hot formed armour panels for CAV vehicles.
Personal Protection Showcase
The NP Aerospace body armour portfolio delivers advanced multi hit protection for diverse users and elite forces, whilst meeting the requirement for reduced weight and optimal fit and form.
Booth N2-410 will showcase integrated armour and apparel, bringing together NP Aerospace’s world-leading hard and soft armour technologies with Logistik Unicorp’s combat proven military apparel systems, to deliver seamless, next-generation soldier protection and load carriage combined in one solution.
Experience the latest solutions and discover next generation soldier systems, including new lightweight body armour for diverse users, ultra-light helmet shell technology and a new armour plate which delivers class leading multi-hit protection against armour piercing ammunition.
Bomb Disposal Suits
NP Aerospace is trusted by EOD operators worldwide for high performance, proven solutions for bomb disposal, tactical search missions, and demining operations including the latest NIJ certified 4030 ELITE suit. The company is one of only two in the world to develop a suit certified to NIJ 0117.01, delivering on both protection and operator comfort.
NP Aerospace is continually enhancing its range of EOD suits, each designed and manufactured in the UK, delivering key quality assurance on every suit. The suits are engineered for maximum flexibility, mobility and reduced operator fatigue in real mission scenarios.
At DSEI 2025 NP Aerospace will be showcasing an upgraded EOD suit with new helmet technology and there will be an EOD operator on the stand to demonstrate the flexibility of the new suit and the challenges faced in EOD scenarios.
