Not a bad website at www.armordesigns.com which has a copy of the AIM admission document

Armor specialises in the research, testing, development and commercialisation of
composite armour products in a number of areas: personal body armour, rotorcraft
armour, vehicle armour and, potentially, infrastructure armour. Armor is developing several industry ballistic standard designs with different weights and different price points. Each of the products being developed by Armor is based upon a generic synthetic manufacturing process called VCM. The VCM process involves the creation of a computerised model into which can be inputted the specific tolerances and design constraints of a proposed product. The model then adjusts the composition of the material until the required properties are achieved. The VCM process gives the Armor group the potential to rapidly develop new composite armour products which might consist of various materials, such as metals, ceramics, resins and/or fibres, which in combination might share the same or better resistance to penetration as existing armour equivalents but which are, potentially, lighter and more versatile.
