Land Platform Protection
Combat proven. Battle hardened.
There is no substitute for armour that has been proven under fire — and none more critical to a vehicle’s survivability than the system protecting its crew, structure and mobility. CES land platform protection is engineered to deliver certified ballistic protection at the lowest possible weight, giving tracked and wheeled platforms the survivability to operate in the world’s harshest combat environments.
Our land platform portfolio spans add-on and appliqué armour, third-generation spall liner systems and mine & blast protection — each designed bespoke to your platform’s structure and ballistic specification, as part of our wider platform protection range.
Why Choose CES Land Platform Protection
Combat-proven performance. Deployed on tracked and wheeled platforms in demanding, high-threat operational environments worldwide.
Certified to NATO standards. Tested to NATO STANAG 4569 (AEP 55) Levels 1–6, including fragment simulating projectile (FSP) threats.
Lightweight for weight-critical platforms. Ultra-lightweight composite armour delivers protection without the mobility penalty of conventional steel.
Modular and reconfigurable. Protection can be reconfigured as the threat environment or mission profile changes.
Engineered without excessive tooling. Bespoke manufacturing processes allow 3D spall liner systems to be built cost-effectively, without expensive tooling.
Add-on Armour Systems
Our combat-proven add-on armour systems for tracked and wheeled platforms feature stand-alone and appliqué solutions up to and including NATO STANAG 4569 (AEP 55) Levels 5 and 6 — all designed bespoke to meet your platform, structure and ballistic specification.

Protection Standards
CES land platform armour is designed and tested to NATO STANAG 4569 (AEP 55), covering Levels 1 through 6 across ballistic, fragmentation and mine-blast threats. Systems can be specified individually or combined to build a coherent, platform-wide protection architecture.
Applications
- Military and defence forces requiring combat-proven armour for tracked and wheeled platforms in high-threat land environments.
- Peacekeeping and coalition operations needing certified protection that meets NATO interoperability standards.
- Law enforcement and homeland security fleets requiring protected vehicles for high-risk operations — see our dedicated law enforcement and civilian application range.
- Vehicle OEMs and integrators seeking a bespoke armour partner for new-build platforms or upgrade programmes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of land platform protection does CES offer?
CES offers three core land platform systems: add-on and appliqué armour, third-generation spall liners, and mine & blast protection — each designed bespoke to the platform and threat profile.
What ballistic standard do CES land platform systems meet?
Our land platform armour is tested to NATO STANAG 4569 (AEP 55), with solutions available across Levels 1 to 6, including protection against fragment simulating projectile (FSP) threats.
Can armour be retrofitted to existing vehicles?
Yes. Add-on and appliqué armour systems are designed to integrate with both new-build platforms and existing vehicles as part of an upgrade or re-fit programme.
What is a spall liner and why does it matter?
A spall liner is fitted behind a vehicle’s armour to contain fragments generated when the outer armour is struck, reducing crew injury from spall. CES third-generation spall liners are built as bespoke 3D systems without the need for expensive tooling.
