Rafael has developed and applied various passive armor technologies to protect combat vehicles, including ceramic,
metallic, shaped, laminated and perforated technologies. The passive add-on armor is modular, lightweight and easily
installed by the crew. It is maintenance-free and combat-proven.
The systems provide protection against 14.5 mm AP projectiles, high speed fragments of artillery shells and IED (STANAG
4569, Level 4 and beyond). Rafael has recently developed passive add-on lightweight, effective modular armor to defeat
EFPs.
Rafael's armor systems are in use by the IDF, USMC, Italian Army, New Zeeland Army, Czech Army and others. They are
combat proven and received excellent reports about their performance in the Operation Iraqi Freedom and peace keeping
missions worldwide. Rafael’s Enhanced Appliqué Armor Kit (EAAK) add-on armor system was selected by the USMC as
a sole source, for the AAV7 amphibious APC.
