PLATFORM ARMOUR

Protection requirements for military and civilian platforms are complex and not always covered by standards. Against ballistic KE threats, mines, EFP, IED and RPG, we offer a modular product portfolio based on the STANAG 4569 − our M-RACC product family.

This ranges from add-on systems to structure-bearing armour and spall liner systems.

SINGLE-SOURCE HOLISTIC
PLATFORM PROTECTION

Systems integration engineering

Our protection solutions are holistic, each component engineered for interconnectivity with the entirety of your platform. This begins with development of a materials-specific design concept drawn from our specialised expertise in the combining of textile fibres with steel, ceramics, and other anti-ballistic protective materials. Conceptualisation is guided by our belief that a solution capable of meeting overall system integration requirements is one that balances performance against cost.

Comprehensive ballistic testing

Maximum quality in mission with maximum protection is our goal – extensive proof in the field of ballistic tests as well as blast are the way to get there. We carry out ballistic tets of armour systems on shooting ranges of up to 2,500m. The test spectra include civilian and military threat scenarios.

Testing services include:

Projectile analysis (spatial orientation and velocity measurement)
Target analysis (residual energy measurement, camera recordings, destruction volumes, behind-armour effects)
Statistical evaluation (determination of V50 limiting-penetration velocity, methodology for quality assurance)
Examinations specific to blast, mine, and RPG threats

In order to determine the effects on armour systems due to environmental influences and interactions with the weapon system, we carry out extensive material tests in accordance with common civil and military test standards.

These include, among others:

Temperature
Vibration
UV-Light
Salt Spray

Ballistic engineering and studies

As a high-performance “one-source” partner, we take care of the development of armour concepts, system integration and testing up to series production. This also includes technical advice, system vulnerability analyses and the evaluation of protection systems. Our excellent expertise in the field of protection, combined with experienced engineers and high-performance CAD systems, ensure a targeted and cost-efficient implementation of your protection requirements.

M-RACC THREATS AND APPLICATION

M-RACC (Multi-Role Armour Composites/Components) is next-generation lightweight, modular and-, scalable platform armour. We created M-RACC so that the armour solutions developed for you can be precisely fitted to the unique, individualised requirements of your platform. As strong as it is versatile, M-RACC provides impressively effective ballistic protection for naval vessels, aircrafts, land vehicles, critical infrastructure, and more.

M-RACC ADVANTAGES

Modularity

The modular design of M-RACC permits extensive customisation, making it a protective system readily adaptable for use in countless types of missions and in a wide range of environments. Thanks to this modularity, system weight is easily optimised, cost of maintenance dramatically reduced, and platform versatility impressively increased.

Scalability

M-RACC can be upgraded in increments. This lets you future-proof your platform’s ballistic protection. It also enables you to efficiently and timely adapt to changes in protective requirements brought about by the emergence of new or evolving threats.

Lightness

Our highly advanced composites technology allows us to design your M-RACC with integrated protective modules that are as strong as steel but that possess only a fraction of the weight of conventional metal armour.

Environmental Resistance

M-RACC resists from salt water, UV rays, rain, dust, and other environmental influences. It also reduces your platform’s radar signature and near-infrared emissions while simultaneously improving its flame resistance.

PROTEC3D
