Constellium Awarded Contract with TARDEC, the US Army Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center

Constellium N.V. (NYSE and Euronext: CSTM) announced today that it has been awarded a contract with TARDEC, the US Army Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center supporting the Combat Vehicle Prototype (CVP) platform.

Being awarded this contract helps demonstrate the expertise of Constellium in the defense market and confirms its growing position as a leading partner for aluminium armored vehicle solutions. Under the agreement, Constellium will supply TARDEC with KEIKOR® 2139 for its entire CVP integrated hull capsule.  KEIKOR® 2139 was previously selected for the successful CAMEL (Concept for Advanced Military Explosion-mitigating Land) program. KEIKOR® 2139's best-in-class blast performance combined with its superior armor piercing (AP) capabilities has proven to be the ideal material selection for TARDEC's next generation prototype fighting vehicle.

Constellium has been a key partner to the defense industry for many years, continuously developing new solutions for armored vehicles and upgrading in-service equipment. "We are proud to see KEIKOR® 2139, our leading solution for integral hull applications, selected over several other considered materials," said David Meacham, Vice President of Sales Transportation, Industry and Defense at Constellium.  "Thanks to a tireless focus on research and innovation, and a strong investment program over the past five years, we have developed the broadest global offering of specialized aluminium alloys for armor applications."

"Constellium's KEIKOR® 2139 aluminium alloy met the necessary performance properties and characterized manufacturing process for the performance and packaging requirements that we were looking for in our hull structure," said Dr. Erik Polsen, TARDEC's chief engineer for CVP survivability. "What's more, once we selected the material, we were able to work with Constellium closely to begin the alloy processing quickly, and they were able to cut the originally-quoted delivery time by more than half."

Constellium will supply TARDEC with KEIKOR® 2139 product from its manufacturing plant inRavenswood, West Virginia, in the United States.
