Soft Armour

Soft Armour is no ordinary bulletproof wall, as it’s filled with ceramic balls. While it sounds like nothing special, it’s designed to stop bullets from penetrating and ricocheting the wall. According to its creators, “Saab’s Soft Armour system offers protection against ballistic penetration up to NATO 7.62 mm AP ammunition (STANAG level III). The system is a box concept filled with hard ceramic balls. The system is especially designed to enhance survivability and can be fitted to any structure prior to missions, or even retrofitted to existing structures in operational theatre.” Continue reading for another video and more information.

A unique ceramic material protects against ballistic penetration. Soft Armour is a patented ballistic protection technology that provides security for people in vulnerable environments.

Soft Armour also protects critical equipment and facilities. Soft Armour protects against all small arms ammunition including armour piercing.

The system has a lower total cost than ceramic and composite protection, with reusability, multi-hit capabilities and high flexibility.
