-- Plasan, a global leader in vehicle survivability and armor innovation, has announced that its protection systems are now integrated into more than 20,000 vehicles worldwide, spanning land, naval, and airborne platforms. This achievement reflects the company’s expanding global partnerships and growing demand for lightweight, modular protection technologies.
For over two decades, Plasan has specialized in developing solutions that safeguard military personnel across the most challenging environments. Its armor designs are present in a wide range of platforms - from the infantry fighting vehicle and joint light tactical vehicle to light armored vehicles and APCs. Each system is built on the same guiding principle: protection should never compromise performance.
Plasan’s engineers combine advanced composite materials, spall liners, and energy-absorbing structures to ensure that vehicles retain speed, maneuverability, and range without sacrificing ballistic or blast protection.
These technologies have been critical in protecting troops from kinetic projectiles, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other modern battlefield threats.
“Reaching 20,000 protected vehicles is a milestone that highlights both our technical capabilities and the trust of our defense partners,” said a Plasan spokesperson. “We continue to innovate with one clear goal - to keep soldiers safe while ensuring their vehicles remain agile and effective in every mission.”
Among Plasan’s most notable achievements is the SandCat, a light tactical vehicle that embodies the company’s philosophy of blending high-level protection with unmatched mobility.
Designed for diverse missions - from border patrol and peacekeeping to rapid response - the SandCat’s modular armor allows configurations for ballistic and blast protection tailored to specific operational needs.
Beyond ground vehicles, Plasan is now adapting its survivability expertise to naval and aerial applications. Lightweight composite armor originally designed for land platforms is being integrated into helicopters and patrol boats, where weight reduction and agility are crucial. Similarly, spall liners and blast-absorbing materials have been optimized to protect crews from fragmentation and shock in both air and sea environments.
This cross-domain approach positions Plasan as a trusted partner for defense forces worldwide. The company’s modular armor kits allow fleets to be upgraded quickly and cost-effectively, extending service life and enhancing operational readiness.
As modern warfare evolves - with drone threats, urban combat, and rapid deployment missions - Plasan continues to refine its systems to meet the demands of future battlefields.
Today, with vehicles operating in more than thirty countries, Plasan’s innovations remain a vital but often unseen layer of defense. The company’s ongoing research and collaboration ensure that soldiers across the globe can rely on equipment that protects without compromise - redefining the very concept of survivability in the modern era.
