ADDITIONAL MODULAR ARMOUR FOR ARMOURED WHEELED VEHICLES AND TRACKED PLATFORMS

The aim of the project was to develop a concept and make an additional modular armour consisting of ballistic shields and a system of fittings which would enable quick detachment, replacement, or maintenance of the shields. The system with ballistic resistance at levels 2, 3 and 4 according to STANAG 4569 has been designed to be mounted on armoured vehicles and tracked platforms. The project assumed the use of lightweight multilayer ballistic shields or shields made following the squeeze casting technology, providing protection against calibre 7,62mm-14,5mm anti-tank missiles. Demonstrators of the system have been created based on the knowledge and experience of members of a ballistic protection and combat vehicles construction Consortium. The type of materials and technology utilized to manufacture the product are of innovative nature. As a product of ingenious engineering, the system stands out against domestic, as well as global competition.
