GDLS-C Provides $39.5M Order to DEW for Stryker Armour

OTTAWA, January 15 - DEW Engineering and Development ULC, with headquarters in Ottawa and
additional manufacturing facilities in Miramichi, New Brunswick, recently
received a $39.5M purchase order from General Dynamics Land Systems Canada
(GDLS-C) to provide ceramic composite hull armour kits for 352 Stryker
armoured vehicles. Since 2003, DEW has been the exclusive supplier
of the ceramic composite armour system for the United States Stryker program.
Deliveries for the GDLS-C orders are expected to start in February 2010.

The Stryker family of vehicles is a core combat component of the US
Army's commitment to both IRAQ and Afghanistan, with over 3000 vehicles
currently in-service. The hull armour kit produced by DEW is a key component
of the Stryker survivability package and has responded extremely well under
operational conditions.

DEW has been designing and manufacturing advanced armour systems since
1994. With an in-house ballistic range and close proximity to mine blast
facilities, DEW works with OEMs to develop survivability solutions that
optimize protection, cost and weight.
