About me
#BeyondComposite, in partnership with the Army's Technological Experimentation and Modernization Center (#CEMTEx), were in action at #ARTEX24, demonstrating the hashtag #CompactShield, advanced composite ballistic protection panels developed for the Defense sector.
BeyondComposite's participation aimed to test the CompactShield soft panels according to NIJ level IIIA and III, which are intended to be used in the protection of public spaces or spall liners in the protection of military vehicles, reducing weight by up to 60%, increasing mobility and reducing consumption.
However, since combat vehicles have a great need to increase their ballistic protection capacity, the innovative #COMPACTSHIELD PLUS was also tested, whose objective is to produce ballistic protection add-ons according to level 4 of STANG 4569. This solution could be used, for example, to increase the armor of Tanks without a significant increase in weight. It also has the ability to monitor damage caused by high-speed impacts by incorporating active piezoresistive fibers into its composition, making ballistic protections intelligent...
My organisation
BeyondComposite is a Portuguese Engineering company dedicated to the field of advanced composite materials. In this field, there is a constant demand for high performance and lightweight composites, which we take into serious consideration. Our knowledge of polymeric materials and reinforcements (either fibers, fibrous structures or particles) allows us to develop multiscale composites (reinforced at different scales), multigrade composites (different properties tuned by layer) and self-sensing composites. With this knowledge combined with the know-how on the processing technologies, we are able to develop ballistic and other high-end composites.
