AMAP Protection System
(IBD)
|
IBD unveiled its new Advanced Modular
Armor Protection (AMAP) composite armor concept, follow-on to their
combat proven Modular Expandable Armor System (MEXAS) protection,
which has provided basic protection suite for over 12,500 combat
vehicles worldwide, AMAP, utilizes ultra-fine powders made
from nano-particle ceramics to create thinner, lighter but tougher
ceramic modules. AMAP is already utilized for a number of new
applications including the protection kits for the Italian army’s
MLV, the Norwegian CV-9030 and Swedish CV-9040 armored vehicles. New
add-on armor suits are on development for Patria’s 8x8 AMV IFV and
command vehicles, scheduled for deliveries to the Finnish and Polish
armies.
