TOPSPOT Ballistic Armor

Technical Overview

TOPSPOT™ represents a breakthrough in ballistic protection technology, combining advanced ceramic, polymer, and metal matrix composites in a functionally graded architecture. The system delivers exceptional protection while dramatically reducing weight compared to legacy steel armour solutions.

The functionally graded material (FGM) design creates a continuous gradient of material properties through the armour thickness, optimising the interaction between the projectile and protection system at each stage of penetration.

Key Advantages

  • 71.53% weight reduction compared to Rolled Homogeneous Armour (RHA)
  • Multi-hit capability for sustained engagement scenarios
  • Scalable from personal protection to vehicle applications
  • ITAR-free UK origin enabling direct export

Validation & Testing

TOPSPOT™ has undergone rigorous ballistic testing at world-class facilities

a major Turkish defence producer Ballistic Testing

Validated against 14.5mm B32 API projectiles at 911 m/s impact velocity at a major Turkish defence producer facilities in Turkey.

Multi-Hit Performance

Demonstrated sustained protection capability under repeated impacts, critical for extended engagement scenarios.

Environmental Testing

Tested per MIL-STD specifications for extreme temperature, humidity, and environmental conditions.

Applications

TOPSPOT™ is scalable across a wide range of protection requirements
