Ultra-Durable Composite Armor for Military Vehicles
Enhance ballistic protection in tactical vehicles without adding excessive weight or complexity to the structure.
The Concept
In response to increasing demands for lightweight, high-strength defense solutions, Omnis partnered with a global defense contractor to develop next-generation armor components. The goal was clear: enhance vehicle survivability while minimizing additional mass, ensuring operational agility in high-risk zones.

Challenge
Enhance ballistic protection in tactical vehicles without adding excessive weight or complexity to the structure.
Material Used
Hybrid ceramic-metal composite with reinforced polymer core.
Impact
35% lighter armor, NIJ Level IV ballistic resistance, and streamlined integration into existing vehicle designs.
The Challenge
Modern armored vehicles require ever-improving protection against increasingly sophisticated threats, including armor-piercing rounds and IEDs. The challenge was to engineer a multi-layered protective material that could offer maximum defense without impairing speed, maneuverability, or fuel efficiency.
Our approach
Material Innovation
Engineered a multi-layer composite blending boron carbide ceramics with a reinforced polymer matrix and metalized backing for maximum energy absorption.
Advanced Manufacturing Process
Utilized custom layering techniques and high-pressure molding for consistent density and structural bonding across large surface areas.
Testing & Validation
Conducted simulated impact tests, followed by live-fire ballistic certification to validate resistance, weight performance, and field readiness.
The Results
35%
reduction in armor weight.
NIJ Level IV
ballistic resistance achieved.
Seamless
integration with minimal redesign required.
The client
"Omnis delivered a material solution that exceeded our strictest requirements for ballistic resistance and structural integration. Their collaborative mindset and technical mastery made all the difference."
