“Bullet-proof” is not a specification. A vehicle, a shelter or a crew cabin is exposed to a defined ballistic threat, and plain structural steel does not stop it. Passive armour does — but only if it is built to defeat that specific threat and proven to a standard, and only if it can be added to the platform without rebuilding it. That is the brief behind Neometrix’s modular ballistic protection system.<\/p>\n
Modern armour defeats a threat in layers. A hard strike face — ceramic (alumina, SiC or B4C) or armour steel — breaks up and erodes the incoming threat. A composite backing of UHMWPE or aramid catches the remnant and spreads its energy. A spall liner then traps fragments so the protected face stays intact, with a low back-face signature.<\/p>\n
Protection is expressed against recognised standards: STANAG 4569 levels 1 to 6, NIJ 0108.01 types II to IV, EN 1522\/1523 and IS 17051, with multi-hit, V50 and back-face criteria. Every configuration is intended to be proof-tested to the cited standard at an accredited range — witnessed and documented — so the protection level is defensible rather than a datasheet claim.<\/p>\n
The protection is built as bolt-on appliqu\u00e9 panels with a mounting frame, stand-off and quick-attach interface. That allows protection to be added to a platform, scaled with the threat and replaced in the field after a strike, with weight and centre of gravity managed against payload and mobility.<\/p>\n
