PROTECTION FOR RIB, INFLATABLES AND FAST PATROL BOATS

Ballistic and fragment protection systems for RIBs, inflatables and fast patrol boats.

Ballistic protection for outboard engines

RIBs, inflatables and fast patrol boats are open and exposed. It is vital that engines are protected, providing a valuable escape from hostile situations. ASL GRP manufacture both rigid and flexible protection options for outboard (and inboard) engines. The covers are designed specifically for your craft ensuring the greatest percentage of coverage possible, whilst maintaining full functionality.

• Removable covers
• No adjustment required to OEM parts
• Constructed from flexible, ballistic materials

See the table at the bottom of the page for protection levels. Call us for further information and quotes: +44 (0)1983 400730.

Tube (pontoon) protection system

There is not much room to add ballistic protection to RIBs and inflatables, but our system allows the occupants to crouch down and take cover from small arms fire or fragmentation (up to 600m/s). The system will protect the inflatable tube from deflation as well as protecting the vessel’s occupants.

This add-on (fully removable) protection system is deployable with the rapid fixing method. All compnents of this protection system are made bespoke to client requirements.

• Lightweight protection
• Removable system
• Protection up to 7.62x39mm (BR4+ / assault rifle ammunition)

The tube (or pontoon) proetction is made up in several sections depending on the length of the vessel. It can be moulded to the shape of the bow section, where each section is joined with our Velcro system.  This allows an overlap that gives you ballistic protection even on the joints.

The protection panels are secured to the vessel using adjustable strapping. We offer two levels of protection, depending on what your potential threat is (please see chart below). The cover is finished in a sealed, waterproof PVC material.
