About Armatec Survivability
Canadian vehicle-survivability engineering and manufacturing company offering protective seating, add-on armour, integrated spall liners, stowage and RPG mitigation systems.
Operating context
Armatec’s work sits inside a vehicle and occupant-protection package: energy-attenuating/ballistic seating, add-on armour, spall liners, stowage and RPG mitigation must be matched to the vehicle configuration. DND names testing and delivery of two seats for the LAV6.0 RECCE through GDLS-C. USMC testimony confirms historical procurement of an Armatec driver seat for LAV use in Operation Enduring Freedom, without establishing a current model. Bonded spall liners create a maintenance dependency: Armatec’s 2020 submission describes removing them before hull welding or steel-plate repair. Current management-system certification does not resolve numeric protection or configuration acceptance. The minister-confirmed cancellation concerns the particular 25-LAV Ukraine contract; a later mixed-package inventory still marked In progress does not prove reinstatement or Armatec delivery.
