03 — Flagship
Al₂O₃ / SiC ceramic strike face with a UHMWPE backer. Level IV, the highest level in NIJ 0101.06.
04 — Platform armoring
Three platforms, one engineering approach. From land vehicles to naval platforms, from helicopters to fixed-wing aircraft: lightweight composite armor packages designed to STANAG 4569 levels.
STANAG 4569 level 2–4 composite packages for tactical and armored vehicles. Weight and ballistic performance are calculated together.
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant panels for boats and fast attack craft. The humidity and salt load of the marine environment are built into the design.
Weight-critical protection for helicopters and air platforms. Panels designed by zone: seats, floor and fuselage.

06 — Threat levels · NIJ 0101.06
Each NIJ level is defined by the test rounds set in the standard. The bars show the kinetic energy of one reference round per level, in joules; levels IIA–IIIA specify two rounds each, one is shown here.

07 — Manufacturing
The production flow has seven steps: intake, design, machining, pressing, ballistic testing, quality control and shipment.
The gold line begins at the ballistic test
08 — Company
We are the defence-industry arm of Kurumsal Grup — founded in 2000 and active through 13 companies in 38 countries. We produce ballistic protection equipment and armoring systems for land, naval and air platforms.
About the company
From design and R&D to CNC machining, from hot pressing and lamination to ballistic testing — every stage runs under one roof, on our own lines.
Explore the process
Every product passes independent ballistic laboratory tests to NIJ standards. Test reports and conformity documents are shared on request during the quotation process.

Our products are tested in independent laboratories to recognised standards including NIJ, NATO STANAG and EN. The relevant product data sheets and test reports are shared on request during the quotation process.
10 — STANAG 4569 protection levels
Typical KG armor solutions designed to STANAG 4569 levels for land, naval, air and personnel platforms: threat, material composition, areal weight and layer build-up.
Velocity tolerance ± 20 m/s.
Key materials
All systems use KG-produced ceramics and UHMWPE composites with integrated Armox500 armor steel. Figures are illustrative of typical configurations and are tailored to project requirements.
