Dr. Bryan Cheeseman, Team Leader, Material Manufacturing and Technology Branch
of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) nominated Constellium for its
efforts in development and maturation of the industrial scale processing of
aluminum armor plate for forming single piece combat vehicle hulls.  A
collaborative team consisting of BAE Systems Land & Armaments, ARL and
Constellium developed, fabricated and demonstrated enhanced hull solutions
applicable to tracked combat vehicles (Military Tanks). 

The Constellium Defense team was tasked to come up with a large formed hull
solution, increasing the underbelly protection for the warfighter. The hull
plates, produced at Constellium's plant in Ravenswood, West Virginia, were live
fire tested with excellent results, which were utilized by U.S. Army experts to
generate requirements for future Army combat vehicles. This technique offers
the Army redesign flexibility not available with alternative solutions. 

"The hull passed all objective threats and demonstrated capability allowing for
the U.S. Military to increase the hull requirements for all tracked vehicles
moving forward. This step up in threat level protection is expected to lead to
decreased injuries and fatalities for our soldiers in the battlefield.
Constellium is proud to be a part of this accomplishment," said Ken Blake,
Constellium's Director Business Development Transportation and Industry.
