AMSTERDAM - s4story -- Integris to provide advanced survivability solutions for Finland's major naval modernisation project Squadron 2020

Integris, a global leader in advanced composite armour solutions, has been selected to supply its naval ballistic protective systems for four next-generation vessels being built for Finland's major naval modernisation project – Squadron 2020.

The ships are currently being built by Rauma Marine Constructions, a premier naval and maritime vessel builder at their shipyard in Rauma, Finland.

This partnership began at the earliest stages of ship design, allowing Integris engineers to work closely with the shipbuilder's project team to ensure optimal integration of survivability solutions while maintaining strict weight and performance targets, factors that are critical to modern naval operations.

"We have been working together with Integris and our design team to fully integrate the protection into the ship design that met our survivability requirements without compromising speed, range, or payload."

The armour provided by Integris was tested and fully qualified in certified ballistic laboratories, ensuring compliance with international naval protection standards. Maritime environments present some of the most demanding and specialised protection requirements, including ballistic multi-threat performance, blast mitigation, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability under extreme operating conditions.

"Being selected by Rauma Marine Constructions as a partner reflects our team's experience and expertise in designing and delivering lightweight, high-performance naval armour systems,"
Jan Grimberg, Chief Commercial Officer at Integris
