NAVAL ARMOUR

Craig International Ballistics has applied its expertise in development of aircraft armour, to uses in marine armour panels for border patrol vessels and Navy frigates.

Craig International Ballistics provides advanced armour solutions for naval and maritime defence applications, supporting the protection of critical personnel, mission systems and platform infrastructure. Our experience spans a broad range of military maritime programs, delivering lightweight ballistic armour for both new-build vessels and capability upgrades. By combining advanced composite materials with proven engineering and in-house ballistic testing, we develop protection systems that are optimised to meet demanding naval operational requirements while minimising weight and maintaining platform performance.

In addition to ballistic protection systems, Craig International Ballistics offers specialised protective coating technologies to enhance the durability and service life of naval armour. Our advanced polyurea coating capability provides exceptional resistance to moisture, saltwater corrosion, impact damage and environmental exposure, making it well suited to harsh maritime operating conditions. Applied using a fully automated robotic coating system, these coatings deliver consistent coverage, improved quality and long-term protection for composite armour systems and other defence components.

Ballistic protection systems are engineered to achieve the required performance against internationally recognised standards, including STANAG 4569 and NIJ 0108.01, with solutions tailored to each platform's threat profile, weight constraints and integration requirements.

Our lightweight marine bullet resistant panels incorporate materials such as:

  • UHH or HHA Steel
  • Technical ceramics such as Boron Carbide (B4C), Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Alumina Oxide (Al2O3)
  • UHMWPE materials such as Dyneema® & Spectra Shield®
  • Kevlar® Aramid

Our armour panels can be manufactured in sizes of up to a maximum of 2.5m x 1.6m.
