MEXAS was replaced by AMAP in 2006, which includes a wide variety of modular armor, both active and passive.
The two companies formed ADS Protection the same year to produce an active armor system ("hard kill").
Between 1981 and 1989, the firm undertook contract developments for the German Armed Forces, specifically for the Federal Office of Defence Technology and Procurement (BWB).
[6][8] MEXAS protection technology was launched in 1994, with further developments between 2000 and 2006 leading to the creation of the AMAP product family, designed to meet the NATO standard 4569 or AEP 55.
[7] To enhance product marketing and customer proximity, several subsidiaries were established: EODC in Canada (2001), EODH in Greece (2003), and AST in France (2004).
