Protective coverage
The material and construction are selected to meet the required protection level, target weight and intended application.
Ballistic protective shields · SCUTUM®
SCUTUM® Protection that moves with the mission.
Configurable protective shields with application-specific materials, well-engineered handling and mission-ready equipment.
For professional users
When protection must remain mobile.
SCUTUM® is engineered for situations in which protection performance, weight and handling are equally critical. Rather than a fixed standard solution, it delivers a shield whose material, geometry and equipment are matched to the operational profile.
Handling & ergonomics
Handle position, carrying system and functional elements are configured to suit the user and mission.
The result is not an isolated component, but a purpose-engineered tool within the overall protection concept.
Engineering design
Protection, mobility and function working together.
Every protection requirement has different priorities. SCUTUM® provides the engineering flexibility to consider protection level, material, shape and operation as one system.
- Specify the appropriate protection levelThe system construction is based on the defined threat and requirements profile.
- Balance weight deliberatelyMaterial selection and geometry are balanced for protection performance and mobility.
- Configure handlingHandles and carrying systems can be configured for right- or left-handed users and the intended application.
- Integrate functionalityVision, observation and other equipment elements are integrated into the overall concept.
Material concept
The material follows the mission.
Depending on the protection requirement and target weight, different high-performance materials or purpose-engineered combinations are used.
- High-performance UHMWPE laminates
- High-strength armour steels
- Ceramic-composite materials
- Custom material combinations

The specific protection level, material construction and configuration are defined for each project. Further configurations are available on request.
Equipment
Configured for the mission down to the last detail.
Functional enhancements are engineered as part of the shield concept rather than added afterwards, creating a clean, application-specific configuration.
