Ballistic protection systems
Five specialised product lines for body, vehicle and infrastructure protection—engineered around the material and configured to specification.
Materials expertise
Ceramics, UHMWPE and armour steel work according to different physical principles. We combine protection performance, weight, geometry and operational profile into a project-specific solution.
Product portfolio
Each line addresses a different priority—from maximum mobility to long-term durability.
Maximum protection performance at an optimised weight.
High-performance ballistic ceramics destabilise and damage the projectile. A multi-layer fibre-composite backing absorbs residual energy and captures fragments.
Reliable protection in critical situations.
Configurable protective shields for professional users—balanced for protection performance, weight, handling and the specific operational profile.
Flexible UHMWPE protection packages.
Unidirectionally aligned fibre layers provide efficient energy absorption at low weight. A robust waterproof cover protects the material from moisture, oil and dirt.
Maximum performance at minimum weight.
Multiple layers of advanced high-performance UHMWPE fibres are consolidated under controlled temperature and high pressure to form a robust, dimensionally stable composite.
Durability for long-term protection requirements.
High-strength ballistic steel for personnel, vehicle and infrastructure protection—resistant to multiple impacts and unaffected by moisture or UV radiation.
