Threat System Approach-Providing operational flexibility

• Scalable Protection System
• More specific threats not just Ballistic NIJ IV!
• Generally highest threat as per current in

service level

• Secondary Level lower in region of AK47 MSC
• Obviously always linked to own forces

weaponry/ammunition

• What is the correct threat? High velocity rifle or

fragmentation?

Plate Design Plate Design:

• Size Range up to 5 sizes
• Evolving new shapes with computerised analysis
• Weight reduction: area of cover vs survivability
• Use of mixes of ceramics in the tile construction

e.g. Boron , Silicon carbide mixes dependent on the threat.

• Same shape front and back- HFI effect
• More effective use of the overall plate- improved

edge shot performance

• Reduced thickness
• Stand Alone?

Product Performance Verification T esting Product Performance Verification T esting:
