APPLIQUE ARMOUR

Appliqué armour panels can be externally clad to a vehicle or vessel to provide extra protection against high powered armour piercing rounds.

Our panels are designed to stand-off from the original vehicle to create an air-gap between the armour and the OEM skin, providing an increased level of protection and allow the material to de-laminate and catch any fragments that may occur. Our suggested materials for appliqué armour would be our High Hard Steel products or Ceramitech ceramic armour.

Panels can be manufactured to any provided drawing or CAD file. ASL offer a full templating service on all new vehicles or vessels.
