Protection of Platforms

Enlarge Pointer targetting system with a soldier

Armour is only one component to help a vehicle survive an attack. We are able to adopt a more holistic view of how best to protect a vehicle using our considerable expertise in designing sensor-based systems to help increase the effectiveness against attack:

• Our POINTER® product is a sensor agnostic networked weapon cueing system that provides rapid target indication directly to the users. Mounted on light vehicles its applications include mission planning, pre-selection of potential targets, anti-ambush protection and infantry fire support
• EARS® is our battle proven Sniper Detection solution which can be used by mounted and dismounted soldiers. It audibly cues soldiers with the direction and distance of a sniper shot in less than a tenth of a second and around a 360° view, even when used on a vehicle moving at speeds over 50mph

Armour, however, is still a vital ingredient of platform protection, which is why we have developed:

• LAST™ Armour: a unique armour system for ground vehicles that’s lightweight, rapidly deployable, field installable and battle proven. It’s available in a range of solutions tailored to defeat specific threats, ranging from small arms fire to RPGs and improvised explosive devices (IEDs)
• Q-Net® uses nets to provide rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) protection on a wide range of tactical and lightly armoured vehicles. It’s lightweight, low-cost and provides RPG protection from all angles, including overhead
