Strategic Acquisitions Enhancing Product Portfolios
In March 2023, Iten Defense LLC, a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in advanced composite armor, acquired Transparent Armor Solutions for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is expected to strengthen Iten Defense's offerings by adding transparent armor products tailored for ground vehicles and infrastructure markets. Transparent Armor Solutions is known for its expertise in ballistic glass and transparent armor manufacturing and development.

Innovations Shaping the Future of Ballistic Protection Products
Leading companies are concentrating on designing innovative products such as next-generation combat helmets that enhance both protection and mobility for soldiers in modern warfare. These helmets are crafted to be lightweight, modular, and customizable, with features like accessory mounts and advanced liner systems that reduce fatigue while increasing operational effectiveness.
For example, in October 2025, Galvion Inc., a U.S.-based defense tech company, introduced the Batlskin Caiman UL helmet. This ultra-light, next-generation combat helmet delivers maximum ballistic protection with minimal weight and bulk. Incorporating Galvion's APEX liner system, a reengineered harness, and a modular three-hole shroud, it offers improved fit, stability, and compatibility with night vision and other mission-critical gear. Developed over seven years with feedback from special operations teams, the helmet addresses challenges such as extended wear, high-mobility operations, and headborne device integration. Its low-profile shroud includes rubber bumpers to eliminate rattle, multiple anchor points for secure gear storage, and an interchangeable metal plate supporting a wide range of night vision devices and future attachments.
