KOR Awarded USSOCOM Contract
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 30, 2026
KOR Receives Contract Award from U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) for Advanced Protective Systems.
Modular, Vacuum-Rigidizing Military Equipment Protection System for Drones, Optics, and Mission-Critical Gear.
[SCOTTSDALE, AZ] KOR is honored to announce the award of a contract from the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) for its advanced KOR Protective System, a modular, reusable military equipment protection system designed to safeguard mission-critical equipment in the most demanding operational environments.
This award validates KOR’s breakthrough approach to protective packaging for defense applications, supporting operators who require reliable shock and vibration protection, rapid deployment, and adaptable load configurations across dynamic mission profiles.
A New Standard in Military Equipment Protection
The KOR Protective System represents a fundamental shift away from traditional foam-based inserts and fixed-case solutions. At its core is a proprietary vacuum-rigidizing structure (VRS) a dynamic material system that transitions from flexible to rigid on demand, conforming precisely to the shape of any object and locking it securely in place.
Unlike traditional foam systems that degrade, require custom cutting, and limit flexibility, KOR delivers a scalable protective case alternative to foam, enabling:
Instant Customization — Forms around virtually any equipment profile without tooling
Reusable Protective Packaging — Supports multiple missions with a single system
Superior Shock & Vibration Protection — Engineered for high-impact, vibration-intensive environments
Reduced Logistics Burden — Eliminates foam replacement and multiple case types
Load Stabilization & Impact Attenuation — Secures equipment while distributing energy across the structure
Berry Compliant Materials — Designed to meet U.S. defense sourcing requirements
How the KOR Protective System Works
The KOR system uses vacuum-rigidizing panels to create a secure, adaptive protective structure:
Equipment is placed within a flexible/fluid panel system
Air is removed to form a rigid, molded structure
The system locks the equipment in place, eliminating movement
Impact forces are absorbed and distributed across the internal medias millions of touch points
This process enables a modular protective system that adapts instantly without fabrication, tooling, or waste.
Built for Mission-Critical Performance
From drone protection and UAV transport systems to night vision optics, weapons platforms, and sensitive electronics, KOR is engineered to perform where failure is not an option.
The system can function independently or integrate into existing ruggedized cases, providing a flexible military-grade packaging solution that enhances both protection and operational efficiency.
Applications Across Defense and Tactical Operations
KOR Protective Systems are deployed across a wide range of use cases, including:
Drone and UAV transport protection
Night vision and optical systems storage
Weapons and tactical gear transport
Sensitive electronics and communications equipment
Field-deployable mission kits
Law enforcement and federal agency operations
This versatility positions KOR as a leading solution for rugged equipment transport across military, defense logistics, and high-value commercial sectors.
Operational Advantage Through Adaptability
Traditional protective systems lock users into fixed configurations. KOR enables continuous adaptation:
Rapid reconfiguration in the field
Support for evolving payloads and equipment upgrades
Reduced preparation time and faster deployment cycles
Consistent protection across changing mission requirements
KOR is not just a protection system, it is a force multiplier for modern operations.
Supporting the Future of Defense and Beyond
As defense technologies evolve across autonomous systems, advanced optics, and portable electronics, the need for intelligent, scalable protective packaging systems continues to grow.
While designed for military and special operations, KOR is increasingly adopted across law enforcement, aerospace, and commercial equipment transport, delivering unmatched versatility and sustainability.
