Morgan Armour Body and Vehicle Protection
 

Body Armour

Morgan Armour offer a range of products and materials for body protection.

The materials range includes Alumina, Silicon Carbide, CERAMOR® and Boron Carbide; whatever your needs or expectations we will strive to meet or exceed them.

The choice is all yours

The choice is all yours, Morgan Armour offer a full spectrum of materials and designs in body armour and vehicle protection, ensuring a range to suit all budgets. Morgan Armour's ability to supply is based on an ideal product mix, with over a century of experience in ceramic materials processing, coupled with system knowledge allowing the integrator to optimise their integration system for lowest areal density.

    

Silicon carbide products

• Single curvature monolithic plates
• Double curvature monolithic plates
• Groin plates
• Products made to customer specifications

Our sintered Silicon Carbide is battle proven and has been fielded over 5 years, and in this time it has been highly successful competing with more expensive solutions based on boride carbon.

Our sintered Silicon Carbide is ideally suited to defeating steel and WCAP small calibre threats.

Alumina (FA & Sintox CL) products

• Single curvature monolithic plates
• Double curvature monolithic plates
• Groin plates
• Products made to customer specifications

Designed to defeat even the most challenging of small calibre armour piercing threats . ISO9001:2000 approved supplier

Shape Design

Due to slip and pressure casting technologies in our ceramic manufacturing, we can produce any shape or size in a cost effective manner and with minimum tooling fees .

Ceramic materials

CERAMOR® is a new functional oxide based composite which has increased fracture toughness, while the hardness and strength of the alumina were preserved or improved.

Spall and shock absorber

The polycarbonate spall cover in the front and the fibre reinforced shock absorber in the back confine the ceramic component for enhanced ballistic performance.

Multi hit performance

Today’s requirements call for ever-increasing multi -hit performance in ceramic inserts. CERAMOR® armour
outperforms the competition through tailored ceramic material properties and the utilisation of advanced composite materials . The strikeface allows much closer multi-shot capabilities than traditional armour materials.

Strikeface, a unique added value technology that can be used with any ceramic, it allows integrators to achieve higher ballistic performance at ultra light areal densities
