Applications
TOPSPOT™ is scalable across land defence platforms
Main Battle Tanks (MBT)
Primary armour and appliqué protection packages for next-generation MBTs, delivering superior protection with significantly reduced weight penalties and improved power-to-weight ratios.
Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV)
Balanced protection solution for combat vehicles requiring both offensive capability and crew survivability, enabling higher protection levels on medium-weight platforms.
Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC)
Enhanced protection for troop transport vehicles, enabling higher protection levels without compromising payload capacity, troop carrying capability, or strategic mobility.
Military Utility Vehicles
Lightweight protection solutions for tactical and logistics vehicles operating in threat environments, providing critical protection without exceeding vehicle weight limits.
Personal Protection Systems
Body armour inserts and helmet protection delivering higher threat protection with reduced soldier burden, enhancing dismounted infantry survivability and endurance.
Retrofit & Upgrade Programmes
Appliqué armour solutions for legacy vehicle upgrade programmes, enabling enhanced protection without structural modifications or exceeding original design weight limits.
Operational Benefits
71.53% weight reduction translates to measurable operational advantages
Increased Payload Capacity
Weight savings can be reallocated to additional ammunition, equipment, communications systems, or active protection systems without exceeding vehicle weight limits.
Improved Mobility
Reduced armour weight improves power-to-weight ratio, enabling better acceleration, higher top speeds, and improved cross-country performance in all terrain conditions.
Enhanced Fuel Efficiency
Lighter vehicles consume less fuel, extending operational range and reducing the logistical burden of fuel resupply in expeditionary operations.
Reduced Logistical Burden
Lighter vehicles enable air transport on standard cargo aircraft, improving strategic deployment options and reducing heavy equipment transporter requirements.
