The experience base includes both traditional steel armouring as well as high performing ceramics and fibre composites.

NFM® Armor has long experience in vehicle adaptation, integration and advanced welding of ballistic steel and aluminum structures.

Testing & Verification

Testing against:
  • Small & medium arms
  • Fragmentation
  • Blast mines
  • AP-mines
  • Shaped charges

Verification standards:
  • STANAG 4569
  • EN-1522/1523
  • AEP-55
  • Or according to client requirements.

MATERIALS & TECHNOLOGY

Extensive prototype development and testing of composites and ceramics in armour applications have resulted in unique capabilities of NFM® Armor product solutions.
The holistic philosophies in NFM® Armor systems maximize protection and minimize the weight penalty associated with traditional steel armoring. Lightweight materials provide high levels of ballistic protection and shock-resistance while increasing vehicle range, performance, reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs.
In close co-operation with premium manufacturers of
ceramics and fibers as well as with vehicle manufacturers and clients, NFM® Armor is one the frontline in development of both modular and fixed armoring of vehicles,
vessels and installations.

ARMORING SOLUTIONS

The patented ”MOAS” armoring solution is based on a combination of ceramics and fiber composites together with ballistic steel to cover smaller areas around the doors and overlaps between the modules. Armored panels are mounted on the exterior of vehicle cabs using welded fixation points. The system enables rapid (6-8 hours) up & down armoring in the field, increasing flexibility, transportability and life cycle costs of modern vehicle fleets.

The patented ”MOCA” armoring solution offers protection for standard ISO containers. It is easy to erect, no need for power supply or special tools. It offers a ballistic protection to early deployment forces from day one. A complete kit for a container can be stored on two Euro pallets.
  • Small logistic footprint
  • Easy installation
  • Re-usable
  • Flexible
Blast mine protection
The patented design by NFM® Armor incorporates double steel floors with a shock absorbing mechanism which mitigates the effect of transmitted shock waves, providing blast protection for the vehicle crew.
Spall liner protection
NFM® Armor handles a variety of solutions of spall liners and adaption of these is done in close co-operation with the end-user and/or the vehicle manufacturer.
