Samyang Comtech (Korean: 삼양컴텍; Hanja: 三洋複合技術) is a South Korean manufacturer of bulletproof ballistic armors founded in 1962.[3][4] It was designated as a defense contractor by the South Korean government in 1973[3] and supplies bulletproof helmets and bulletproof vests for infantry to the ROK Armed Forces, and also manufactures silicon carbide-based ceramic armors for armored vehicles such as the K1A1, K2 Black Panther and Altay.[5] Most products manufactured by Samyang Comtech are made of Dyneema material, except for military vehicle armors.[6]

History

Samyang Comtech was founded on 22 December 1962 under the name Oriental Industry (Korean: 오리엔탈공업) and In 1973, the company was designated as a defense contractor by the government.[3][4]

In 1990, the R&D Laboratory was established for the development of new products, and in May 1997, the first domestic bulletproof helmet and bulletproof vest were developed for the South Korean military.[3]

In June 1998, it began producing Korean Special Armor Plate (KSAP), the first domestic composite armor for main battle tanks developed for the K1A1.[4]

In 2002 and 2003, it succeeded in developing the world's lightest bulletproof helmet weighing 1,115 grams.[3][6][7]

In September 2006, the company name was changed from Oriental Industry to Samyang Comtech (Samyang Composite Technology).[3][4]

In June 2008, it was developed the special armor plate for the K2 Black Panther.[8][9]

In December 2008, it was designated as a co-developer of a project responsible for transferring KSAP-based armor package technology to develop Turkish Altay MBT.[3][4]

In 2011, it was developed armor kit for the light tactical vehicle (LTV) and an add-on armor for the wheeled armored vehicle (WAV).[3]

In 2018, it was developed add-on armor for the 30 mm wheeled anti-aircraft guns, command post wheeled armored vehicle, and K239 Chunmoo export versions.[3]

In 2019, it was developed steel ball filing for new 81 mm mortar.[3]
