Armor/Ballistic Protection
Vehicle and Aircraft Armor
Armoring vehicles and aircraft presents several challenging problems. Compromises must often be made among performance, weight and cost. Clearly all these considerations are strongly interrelated. In aircraft and helicopters, minimizing weight is crucial to maintaining optimum maneuverability of the craft. In ground vehicles, excess weight often requires costly modifications to assure adequate handling and braking. Composiflex's knowledge and experience of a vast array of armor systems enable us to offer the best compromise between performance and budget.
Composiflex is ITAR Certified and provides a full line of composite armor panels for defeating threat levels up to and including NIJ Level IV. We can provide almost any size, shape, and finish.

Structural Armor and Blast Protection
Structural armor in the form of opaque armor or transparent armor has many applications around the world, including banks, courtrooms, airports, correctional institutions, casino money rooms, corporate offices, and embassies. Material options include Spectra Shield®, Kevlar®, Twaron®, ceramic, ballistic steel, ballistic glass, and polycarbonate. Structural armor can be designed to defeat any threat, from small handguns to high-powered, armor-piercing projectiles. Structural armor is available in sheet form or cut to your specific design requirements. The Composiflex engineering staff will assist you in the optimum design of your specific armor system.
Composiflex also offers technologies suitable for blast mitigation.

Portable Armor
In many cases it is desirable to move or replace armor systems rapidly, such as temporary walls, automobile doors, tailgates and portable shelters. In such situations the armor must be extremely light to not interfere with the function of other components and to blend in with its surroundings. Composiflex offers several armor systems to meet these requirements.

Ballistic Shields
Ballistic Shields are widely used by police SWAT teams, the FBI, the DEA and other government agencies. By their sheer size, shields provide much more protection than a breast plate. Composiflex uses state-of-the-art ballistic materials to produce some of the lowest weight shields available.
