advanCed armour Vessels At sea, as on land and in the air, man and materiel must be protected. In this respect TenCate Advanced Armour offers naval armour solutions based on lightweight ceramic and composite materials, both soft and hard armour. In order to achieve the optimal configuration for protection – whilst respecting seaworthiness and the vessels specific gravity point (VSG) – TenCate collaborates with raw materials suppliers, vessel manufacturers, test and knowledge institutes, and others. These naval systems focus on personal protection through the armour-plating of large military vessels and smaller, manoeuvrable naval ships, like composite patrol boats. They provide maximum 20 TENCATE SOLUTIONS protection in accordance with several NATO STANAG levels, with a minimum of weight, and negligible effect on payload and speed. Naval vessel armour is used to protect mission-critical areas on board, including ammunition magazines, bridge stations, combat information centres, communication equipment and weapon systems. TenCate also seeks to protect the crew: from the naval personnel on the launching pad to the seamen on the lower decks. Like personal and vehicle protection, vessel protection is also a complex, dynamic and global market, which is characterized by numerous international standards. Important factors in the right solution are often weight, performance or price – or a combination of these. Consequently, ceramic and composite materials have the advantage, as they are considerably lighter than, for example, steel, which has traditionally been used. Furthermore, product life cycle will play an increasingly important role. TenCate Advanced Armour itself integrates armoured prototypes. Contacts are maintained with Departments of Defence in order to follow developments in commissions and requirements, while fundamental research, for example into new materials, is carried out with universities and knowledge institutes.
