E X P E R T IN SURVIVA B I L I T Y TMAPPLIQUÉ & SPACED ARMOURAppliqué ArmourOverviewOur appliqué armour is designed for military vehicles. It uses acombination of multi-layer composites and ceramics to obtainthe lightest weight and highest performance. The appliquéarmour is designed to be retrofitted to the vehicle to withstandammunitions that can penetrate the original armour of the hull.Specification• Protection – STANAG 4569; Levels 1-5 inc. AEP-55• Designed to be integrated or retrofit under MRO• Lightweight armour protection• Multi-layer• Multi-hit• Fully engineered, delivered to bolt onto your vehicleSpaced ArmourOverviewUsed as a disrupter, the spaced armour is the first contact for an incoming projectile. It isdesigned to deflect or detonate the incoming threat, reducing the velocity and optimum anglefor penetration. By using a spaced system, the thickness of the armour behind can be reducedto enable greater mobility.Specification• Perforated and bar armour; steel, aluminium and composite• Minimal heat affected zones• Modular and effective against a range of ammunition• High level of protection – 14.5mm B32 APIArmourWorks House • 26 Bamel Way • Gloucester Business Park • Gloucester • GL3 4BH • UKTel: +44 (0) 1452 377600 • E: info@armourworks.co.uk • www.armourworks.co.ukPhotos Throughout © copyright of Crown and ArmourWorksARMOUR x4 v4.indd 1 01/09/2011 10:01

Duringthe manufacturing process it is also possible to add specificareas of increased protection using metallic inserts.Specification• Protection – in accordance with STANAG 4569• Increased protection with little extra weight, due to replacementof original parts• Designed to be integrated or retrofit• Lightweight ballistic and blast protection• Fully engineered, delivered to bolt onto your vehicleSpall LinersOverviewArmourWorks produce spall liners for internal areas of allplatform types. The composite spall liner is designed to stopsmall fragments and projectiles and adds little weight to theplatform. By using precision CNC machining, we can ensurethat the spall liners fit perfectly and offer maximum areaprotection.SpecificationThe main features of the products are:• Lightweight & multi-hit• Available with hard wearing, fire retardant coating• Flat panel or complex ergonomic designs – CNC machinedOur spall liners can bemanufactured from:• TechFiber • E-glass• Polyethylene • S-2 glass• AramidArmourWorks House • 26 Bamel Way • Gloucester Business Park • Gloucester • GL3 4BH • UKTel: +44 (0) 1452 377600 • E: info@armourworks.co.uk • www.armourworks.co.ukPhotos Throughout © copyright of Crown and ArmourWorksARMOUR x4 v4.indd 2 01/09/2011 10:02
