Composite armour systems based on high-performance ceramics have proven their efficiency for the protection of light and middle-weight military vehicles, both as add-on armor and as an integrated interior protection.

They protect against direct gun fire, against mortar and artillery splinters as well as against blast mines. Depending on the thread level our customers develop specific protection systems such as ALOTEC/ Polymer composite solutions which are replacing traditional steel armor systems.

Ceramic composite armor systems (between 30 and 50% lighter than most other armor materials) comply with highest requirements established by international standards in order to provide reliable protection.

With its high-performance ceramics, CeramTec-ETEC has been establishing the preconditions for it and has been setting standards in terms of ensuring extremely tight tolerances and thus, guaranteeing highest ballistic protection levels.
