DEW - Vehicle Armor and Survivability Systems

DEW Engineering and Development (Canada) and DEW Industries (New York, US) have been supplying advanced composite armor systems to militaries around the world since 1994. DEW armor systems successfully meet or exceed the highest NATO protection and test standards and are made to exacting ISO 9001:2000 quality standards.

Our advanced composite armors provide improved performance and tremendous weight savings over steel / aluminum solutions. This reduced weight translates directly into increased vehicle payload and / or reduced vehicle life cycle costs.

DEW has the capacity to solve the challenges of armoring your vehicles with our experienced team of armor engineers, military vehicle specialists and production personnel. DEW's extensive experience in protecting against ballistic, mine-blast, and Improvised Explosive Device (IED) threats allows us to offer innovative solutions, with a clear edge in performance.

Vehicle armour for crew protection

DEW's R&D team and in-house ballistic range enables us to develop appropriate vehicle protections systems to counter emerging ballistic, mine and IED threats.

DEW can design and manufacture add-on kits or work with OEMs to optimize their solutions, and have done so for Canadian, US and New Zealand armed forces programs including Stryker and MRAP.
