Retrofit armor for helicopters enhances their survivability and operational effectiveness in contemporary combat scenarios. As older helicopter models might lack adequate protection against evolving threats, retrofit armor solutions becomes crucial to ensure the safety of crew members and the aircraft. Retrofitting adds advanced armor solutions to existing helicopters, reinforcing their ability to withstand ballistic impacts, shrapnel, and other hazards.
Integris Composites plays a pivotal role in retrofit armor
initiatives through our expertise in engineering and advanced materials.
We tailor armor solutions to specific aircraft types, seamlessly integrating retrofit packages with helicopters. This customization ensures the added armor doesn't compromise the helicopter's performance or balance.
By leveraging our expertise in engineering, advanced materials, and collaboration, Integris Composites contributes significantly to retrofit armor solutions for helicopters. This, in turn, enhances the helicopters' capabilities to operate in demanding, high-threat environments, extending their operational lifespan and ensuring the safety of personnel on board.
Our arsenal of advanced ceramics, composite materials, and lightweight ballistic fabrics provides enhanced protection with minimal weight addition. This is crucial for helicopters, as any increase in weight could impact flight dynamics.
