Conventional protection systems frequently sacrifice strength to weight – necessitating a dangerous compromise. Other solutions simply cannot provide the requisite protection in the most demanding environments. Further operator compromises are required when partial and retrofitted solutions are mechanically applied to a vehicle or vessel. ExoProtect™ delivers a smarter solution. This low-thermal conductive, corrosion resistant, superior strength composite material can be formed to flat, curved, custom and precision shaped designs and geometries of tactical marine craft, in-service military combat vehicles and aircraft. It delivers essential ballistic resistance against high-velocity projectiles, explosive fragments, and can provide underfloor protection to protect against high-impact debris damage during operational service. ExoProtect™ is comparably lightweight as similarly sized ceramic protection and unlike other polyaramid fibres (e.g. Kevlar) its performance is not compromised by water. It is strong enough to meet NIJ Level III and IIIA ballistic resistance standards.
