A new concept in ballistic protection

Composite materials formed into appliqué panels and spall liners have long been used to augment and supplement metallic armour, but have never truly offered the ballistic and mechanical characteristics required to provide significant vehicle protection in their own right.


That is until now. Combining extensive composites research with 60 years’ experience at the leading edge of moulded component technology, has resulted in the design and perfection of a remarkable new composite armour.

CAMAC® armour is so advanced it takes composites into a new dimension in ballistic protection. Using sophisticated ballistic laminate technology, CAMAC® is based on high performance glass fibre reinforced composites which are consolidated under pressure for precise dimensional control and consistency.

Once processed, CAMAC® forms a protective shield with outstanding ballistic and mechanical performance, up to 20% lighter than the equivalent steel armour, yet able to defeat a wide range of threats, including fragmentation, high velocity small arms, grenade attack, mine blasts and burning fluids.

Even after undergoing repair bonding, our S-2 glass demonstrates "good as new" performance against ballistic threats (as shown in the photo to the right).
