Armoured land vehicle, military helicopter and naval vessel — CES platform protection

Platform Protection

Protection engineered into the platform, not bolted on afterwards.

When a platform is exposed to threat — on land, at sea or in the air — the armour protecting it has to be part of the design, not an add-on fitted after the fact. CES platform protection equips military, naval and aviation programmes with lightweight, certified ballistic protection systems engineered to the specific structure, threat profile and mission of each platform — designed, developed and manufactured to work with the platform rather than against it.

Our range spans three core platform families — land platforms, naval platforms and aerospace platforms — together with a dedicated law enforcement and civilian application range, each engineered to the demands of its operating environment and backed by NATO security clearances and internationally recognised certification.

Why Choose CES Platform Protection

Certified across the range. Land platform armour is tested to NATO STANAG 4569 (AEP 55) Levels 1–6, naval systems to NIJ 0108.01 and STANAG 4569, and aerospace protection to AS9100 and NADCAP.

Lightweight by design. Advanced composite materials — including UHMWPE, Aramid and Carbon Fibre — deliver maximum protection at the lowest achievable weight, preserving the speed, payload and manoeuvrability of the platform.

Engineered to the platform, not generic kit. Every system is designed bespoke to your platform’s structure, ballistic specification and integration requirements, rather than fitted from a fixed catalogue.

Configured to the mission. Every platform system can be tailored through our design and integration capability to the specific threat, environment and platform.

Proven in service. Manufactured under NATO security clearances, and trusted as a supplier of choice to defence, naval and aerospace programmes worldwide.

Land Platform Protection

Combat-proven composite armour for tracked and wheeled vehicles, spanning add-on and appliqué systems up to NATO STANAG 4569 Levels 5 and 6, third-generation spall liners, and mine & blast protection for the vehicle’s most exposed areas — all engineered bespoke to the platform, structure and ballistic specification.

Naval Platform Protection

Ultra-lightweight composite protection for warships, patrol boats and auxiliary naval systems, tested to NIJ 0108.01 and NATO STANAG 4569, and built to integrate with new-build vessels as well as upgrades and re-fits without adding the weight penalty of conventional steel armour.

Aerospace Platform Protection

Lightweight, certified ballistic protection for fixed-wing and rotary platforms, from cockpit, seat and wing armour to modular systems for cabins, floors, walls and ramps — manufactured in complex 3D-moulded shapes using UHMWPE, Aramid and Carbon Fibre, to AS9100 and NADCAP standards.

Law Enforcement & Civilian Application

Discreet, lightweight platform protection for law enforcement vehicles, checkpoints and civilian security assets, adapted from the same certified composite systems developed for military and naval platforms.

Applications

  • Military and defence forces requiring combat-proven armour for tracked and wheeled vehicles operating in high-threat land environments.
  • Naval and maritime programmes needing ultra-lightweight protection for warships, patrol boats and auxiliary systems without compromising speed or manoeuvrability.
  • Aerospace and aviation platforms requiring certified, weight-optimised armour for fixed-wing and rotary aircraft.
  • Law enforcement and civilian security applications where discreet, lightweight platform protection is essential.
