Armour & Protection

Advanced Armour Solutions for Modern Defense Platforms

DEW Engineering delivers comprehensive ballistic, blast, mine, and specialty armour systems engineered to protect personnel, vehicles, aircraft, and mission-critical infrastructure across today’s evolving threat environments.

Our advanced composite and integrated armour solutions are designed to meet mission-specific protection requirements across land, air, and sea, addressing kinetic, blast, and fragmentation threats. These systems can be deployed as standalone kits, integrated during vehicle production, or incorporated into naval, aviation, and shelter platforms, ensuring adaptable, high-performance protection for any operational need.

Ballistic, Mine & Blast Add-On Armour for Vehicles

Enhanced Protection for New & Legacy Platforms

Our add-on armour systems mount directly onto vehicle hulls, giving armed forces the flexibility to increase survivability without redesigning the base platform.

Ballistic / Kinetic Armour

Designed to defeat high-energy penetrators such as heavy machine gun and cannon rounds. Add-on ballistic kits are typically aligned with STANAG protection levels and provide multi-layered stopping capability for medium and large-calibre threats.

Mine Protection

Engineered to mitigate explosive forces encountered when a vehicle passes over anti-vehicle or anti-personnel mines. These solutions focus on:

  • Blast energy attenuation
  • Fragment capture
  • Protection from cone-shaped dispersal patterns generated during detonation

Blast / IED Protection

Add-on blast armour reduces damage and injury resulting from roadside bombs, VBIEDs, and offset explosive threats. These systems combat:

  • Lateral blast waves
  • Overpressure
  • High-speed fragmentation

Spall Liners

Internal Protection for Crew Survivability

Spall liners are installed inside the vehicle to capture high-velocity fragments generated when external armour stops a projectile. Even successful armour defeats can create dangerous internal spall.

Spall liners deliver:

  • Fragment mitigation from hull deformation
  • Increased survivability in confined crew spaces
  • Overmatch threat reduction, narrowing the fragmentation cone from shaped-charge jets
  • Retrofit capability for existing fleets

Lightweight and effective, composite spall liners provide critical secondary protection that complements external armour systems while helping manage overall vehicle weight.

Integrated Vehicle Armour

Protection Engineered Into the Vehicle From Day One

Integrated armour solutions are developed directly with OEM partners and are built into the vehicle during manufacturing. By incorporating advanced composite armour into the vehicle structure from the outset, this approach optimizes weight distribution, enhances structural performance, and meets predetermined threat standards without compromising design, mobility, or payload.

  • Built-in ballistic, blast, and mine protection
  • Advanced composite armour layers bonded to the vehicle hull
  • Improved strength-to-weight performance
  • Turnkey integration services
