Integris has played an active and technical role in the European Future Highly Mobile Augmented Armoured Systems 2 (FAMOUS2) programme. The programme is a major European Union defence initiative aimed at designing, developing, and prototyping highly mobile armoured vehicle technologies for future ground combat operations<\/a>. FAMOUS2 is funded under the European Defence Fund with a total value of approximately \u20ac95 million over four years and involves a consortium of 18 companies from 10 European countries.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”950px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/integriscomposites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/FAMOUS2.jpg” alt=”European Future Highly Mobile Augmented Armoured Systems ” title_text=”European Future Highly Mobile Augmented Armoured Systems ” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”75244c77-7bf4-4c3f-a873-54cc93ac7c1e” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The programme is coordinated by Patria of Finland and represents a significant step forward in collaborative European defence development, focusing on mobility, protection, modularity, and interoperability.<\/p>\n Integris\u2019 materials engineering<\/a> and simulation team<\/a> has been responsible for delivering critical elements of the ballistic protection work package.<\/p>\n Ballistic protection solutions were designed using Impetus simulation software, enabling rapid iteration and optimisation of composite armour systems. These digital designs were verified through live-fire testing at Integris\u2019 shooting range in Primarette France and validated at independent external testing facilities.<\/p>\n The first prototype shipsets have been delivered to Arquus for their light armoured vehicle platform and to Patria for two variants of the all terrain vehicle, including a standard configuration and a lightweight composite structure variant.<\/p>\n The work was led by project leads Matthew Beaumont and Jean Beugels, with ballistic testing carried out by Claus Thorsen, Jakob B\u00f8gholm, and Julien Paysan-Mayet. Design engineering was led by Oliver Haagaard, while simulation activities were led by Piotr Tomaszewski.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/5nFutwGsdBI” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”0%||0%||true|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/3jx1p8ZPwaE” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”459.3px” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n FAMOUS2 builds on the earlier FAMOUS1 feasibility study and moves the programme from concept definition into prototype development. The project focuses on delivering future armoured vehicle solutions<\/a> across multiple platforms, including all terrain vehicles, light armoured vehicles, and main battle tank concepts.<\/p>\n Key programme objectives include enhanced tactical and operational mobility, modular vehicle architectures, advanced protection technologies, and increased interoperability between European armed forces.<\/p>\n FAMOUS2 plays an important role in strengthening European defence industrial cooperation. By bringing together major system integrators, specialised technology<\/a> providers, and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, the programme supports the development of a more coherent and competitive European defence industrial base.<\/p>\nIntegris\u2019 contribution<\/h3>\n
