Craig International Ballistics has been at the forefront of lightweight armour development in Australia since its establishment. For almost 27 years, our dedicated research and development activities have driven continuous innovation across personal protection, vehicle armour, aircraft applications, naval systems and specialist transparent armour. As part of Mehler Systems, CIB combines Australian engineering expertise with access to one of the world's leading providers of ballistic protection solutions.

Research and development remains central to everything we do. Our multidisciplinary engineering team continually evaluates new materials, advanced composites and innovative manufacturing processes to improve ballistic performance, reduce weight and enhance durability. This commitment has enabled the successful development of numerous advanced armour solutions that continue to support defence, law enforcement and specialist security organisations throughout Australia and international markets.

A key strength of CIB is our highly vertically integrated manufacturing capability. Product development, engineering, ballistic testing and production are undertaken in-house, enabling rapid design iterations and efficient transition from concept through to full-scale manufacture. Our purpose-built ballistic test range and NIJ stab and spike test tower allow new designs to be evaluated quickly, supporting accelerated product development while maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance.
