Maritime ballistic protection system for naval operations
Integris, in collaboration with TR Equipment, has successfully developed and delivered an advanced maritime ballistic protection system for ship gunners to the Marine Nationale (French Navy). This naval protection solution is designed to enhance operator survivability in high-threat maritime environments, including coastal patrol, naval security operations, and expeditionary missions.
The system incorporates lightweight armour technology, modular ballistic protection, and scalable protection levels up to STANAG Level 2, with options for higher threat-level configurations.
Key gunner protection features and capabilities
- Maritime gunner protection system with 360-degree shielding
- STANAG-compliant ballistic protection (Level 2 and scalable)
- Lightweight composite armour for enhanced mobility
- Modular design for mission-specific configuration
- Rapid installation across multiple naval vessel types
- Protection for weapon stations, torso, and lower body
Operational advantages
This naval armour system is engineered for rapid integration and minimal vessel downtime, making it suitable for all naval vessels. The design ensures optimal situational awareness while improving crew protection against ballistic threats and fragmentation.
“At Integris, we focus on delivering practical protection solutions. This system highlights our experience in lightweight, high-performance armour design.” — Valérie Orhan, Sales Manager France
