POMPANO BEACH, Fla., March 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For more than 50 years Point Blank Enterprises has provided threat protection solutions and performed Design Engineering, Program Management and Systems Integrator roles in support of the U.S. warfighter.

Point Blank Enterprises (PBE) and partner Keshik Mobile Power Systems (Keshik) recently completed the US ARMY’s OMFV System Requirements Review (SRR) and Maintainability Concept Review (MCR), both of which are critical OMFV Phase 2 milestones.

To continue to build our combined capabilities, PBE and Keshik have opened a Detroit area office for our Land Systems engineering and program management team. “We continue to invest in our capabilities to fully realize our OMFV design concept.

Additionally, PBE and Keshik are proud to announce the selection of the Cummins Advanced Combat Engine (ACE) for our OMFV offering. “The Cummins ACE is a critical enabling technology for the OMFV version of our Liberty vehicle platform.
