During the first half of 2011 the Company engaged in a project aimed at demonstrating the shock and vibration attenuation capability of RIASORB® within a Defence environment.  The project was undertaken within a funding agreement reached with the Defence Materials Technology Centre (DMTC) and with the assistance of Defence industry consultants aadiDefence. 

As reported in the recently released DMTC Annual Report Highlights 2011 the independent testing of RIASORB® at an accredited defence facility demonstrated a minimum 95% absorption of shock impulses.  Following the success of this demonstration the Company intends to target a range of critical defence and commercial seating applications.
