IED and Mine Protection Modules






The Armatec IED & Mine protection system is an occupant centric, modular and scalable package that is fully integrated into the vehicles composition, and any additional survivability systems. Using rugged, lightweight composite materials, the IEDMPM protects crew members from the various impacts of an IED or mine blast as the loads become distributed throughout the vehicles mass, allowing for the absorption and isolation of blast energy. The IEDMPM has protection of STANAG Level 4a/3b including artillery fragmentation protection and is scalable up to levels above STANAG Level 4a/4b including large ANFO type blasts. This system has been tested and fielded on the LAV platform.

Incorporated with the Armatec Protective Seating Systems, the IEDMPM is truly lifesaving.

The IEDMPM primary roles are as follows:

  • Prevent hull rupture
  • Limit dynamic and permanent deformation of the hull structure
  • Attenuate the load transferred into the occupants
  • Isolate load inputs from the vehicle
  • Provide ballistic, fragmentation protection and spall protection
