Ballistic protection is crucial for the survivability of military vehicles and the personnel inside the vehicles. A variety of materials, including lightweight and composite materials, are used to provide enhanced protection.

Ballistic protection solutions protect military armoured vehicles against a range of threats such as munitions, anti-tank grenade launchers, improvised explosive devices, guided missiles, fragmentation, and mines.

Aluminium, steel, glass, plastic, uranium, and composite are some of the commonly used materials in manufacturing vehicle protection equipment.

Solutions can also be customised to meet the different mission requirements. The equipment can be integrated into the vehicle structure during manufacturing or retrofitted.

Ballistic protection products enable vehicle operators to meet Nato standardisation agreement (STANAG) standards.
