We have been able to apply our expertise in the development
of aircraft armour, for use in marine armour panels for border patrol vessels and Navy frigates. Airframe requirements
for precise engineering and very lightweight components are readily
applicable to maritime requirements.
Our lightweight
marine bullet resistant panels incorporate materials such as:
- Boron Carbide (B4C)
- Silicon Carbide (SiC)
- Honeywell Spectra Shield®
- DSM Dyneema® HB2
/ HB25
- Dupont Kevlar® Aramid
Craig International Ballistics manufactures a full range of ballistic protection panels to suit marine, aircraft and structural use.
Our armour panels can be manufactured in sizes of up to 1.6m x 3.0m.
We have been involved in a number of contracts for the supply of lightweight NIJ Level III / III plus and IV armour panels for high speed patrol boats protecting internationbal brorders.
Modern ballistic fabrics are extremely light, and in a number
of cases, float. This makes them desirable for boat armour, but
a necessity for amphibious assault body armour.
