advanCed armour Vehicles TenCate Advanced Armour designs and manufactures customized lightweight ballistic protection solutions for vehicles and personnel protection. These solutions are well-proven products whose effectiveness has been demonstrated in combat zones and peace keeping operations around the world. Add-on armour is capable of withstanding many different kinds of impact, including vibration and shock. Add-on armour is a lightweight protection system that adds least possible weight to the vehicle, whilst providing maximum protection. With an eye to mobility, manoeuvrability and energy consumption, vehicle armour must be as light as possible, while 18 TENCATE SOLUTIONS still providing the highest level of protection and mobility required. Military vehicle armour is a demanding market, where the trends are towards protection against roadside bombs and the need for lighter, fuel-efficient vehicles. Complementary to its present armour solutions in the vehicle protection business, TenCate Advanced Armour and its business partners are developing the patented TenCate ABDS active blast countermeasure system. This innovative defence solution is intended to protect people and materiel against shrapnel and flames, providing life-saving protection against a number of improvised explosive devices – such as roadside bombs, which form the greatest threat in war zones. It is supplied to the protection market in close cooperation with selected Original Equipment Manufacturers in Europe and North America. TenCate Advanced Armour and its commercial and governmental partners have successfully completed a full-scale, underbelly improvised explosive device test on a fully instrumented military vehicle. This phase 3 system level test was completed on a 15-ton, flat-belly Armoured Personnel Carrier with the fully integrated ABDS active blast countermeasure system, incorporating the Trigger and Activation System (TAS).
Innovative integration concepts are designed for a range of combat and tactical military vehicles. The ABDS active blast countermeasure system effectively mitigates the devastating effects of IEDs, defeating the acceleration of the vehicle and vehicle structure. This technical solution provides an automatic and instantaneous response to the detonating IED, delivering a structural and biomechanical response mode, fulfilling STANAG 4569 at classified levels. The validated ABDS active blast countermeasure system is easily retrofitted to a wide range of vehicle platforms, to meet ever changing, urgent field requirements, aimed at addressing the continuing and evolving IED threat.
