Armatec has never subscribed to a "one design fits all" philosophy. Rather, the company believes in complete systems integration. Traditional survivability solutions require that appliqué armour be designed around the vehicle and its sub-systems. This approach has limitations leading to vulnerabilities (the so-called "ballistic windows") and structurally weak areas. Armatec, however, evaluates the vehicle as a total system and reconfigures it to maximize survivability without degrading performance. In fact, the vehicle is more mission-capable after upgrading with an Armatec system because crews know they are better protected and have confidence in their equipment. Armatec’s external and internal armour upgrades, combined with the company’s customized seating system, provide a holistic survivability solution which maximizes the survivability of both vehicle and crew.
