Accredited Testing Leader Chesapeake Testing is a NVLAP and A2LA ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited laboratory with NIJ and US Army approvals, signaling high quality and compliance for testing armor, helmets, and related protective systems. This positions them as a trusted partner for defense contractors and manufacturers seeking validated test results and certification support.

Comprehensive Test Capabilities The company operates climate controlled indoor firing ranges, ballistic and forced-entry ranges, multiple specialized labs (environmental conditioning, CT scanning, NDT, sports testing), and an on-site machine shop. This breadth enables end-to-end testing and rapid iteration without external vendors.

Extensive Test Assets With one of the most expansive collections of test barrels, specialty Mann gun, and 3-barrel .50 cal systems, Chesapeake Testing can accommodate a wide range of small arms munitions and shock/ballistic scenarios, reducing supplier lead times for customers requiring diverse test matrices.

Strategic Certification Position Approval to perform NIJ standards testing and Army test center validation creates a competitive moat for opportunities in personal armor, helmet, and hard/soft armor development, procurement, and compliance testing with federal customers.

Growth through Defense Partnerships With revenue in the low to mid single digits and a specialized defense focus, there is potential to expand services into broader compliance testing, materials characterization, and accelerated prototyping support for emerging armor technologies, while targeting defense contractors and players upgrading protective equipment.
