Ballistic & Defence

Innovations in protection.

Better, lighter, safer.

GMS Composites has created an assortment of prepreg and composite materials designed to cater to diverse ballistic and protection requirements.

These innovative solutions encompass a wide range of applications, including but not limited to soft and hard armour, helmets, spall liners for vehicle protection, shielding for infrastructure, and protective shelters.

In advanced composite materials, the strategic marriage of aramid fibers and highly toughened resin systems stands as a hallmark of innovation. Aramid fibers, renowned for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to impact, bring unparalleled robustness to the table. Paired with meticulously formulated highly toughened resin systems, these materials yield composite solutions capable of withstanding the harshest environments and dynamic forces.
