FAMOSTONE
The body armour plates are available in a wide range of protection levels, sizes and shapes from flat or single-curved to complex multi-curve ergonomic designs for a better body shape overlay and user comfort. FMS production capacity is up to 30,000 plates per month.
FAMOSTONE® panels are the most advanced ballistic protection solutions currently available on the market, having the best weight to ballistic performance ratio. They are made with the lightest material available: Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fibre (UHMW-PE), capable of delivering high protection levels at a lower weight compared to traditional steel or other high performance ballistic materials. The panels feature exceptionally high multi-hit capability, providing the user an outstanding degree of safety if hit by multiple projectiles or fragments.
FAMOSTONE® hard ballistic products made of 100% UHMW-PE are manufactured using a proprietary production technology, developed and produced by FMS. FAMOSTONE® panels and inserts are pressed from Uni-Directional (UD) fabrics using high pressure presses to achieve superior ballistic performance. Such fabrics combine Polyethylene fibres in a thermoplastic matrix that is capable of absorbing and dispersing high impact energy, such as energy from rifle shots. Each fabric layer has four plies of UD-Polyethylene fibre tapes cross-plied at 0°/90°/0°/90°.
FMS plates comply with NIJ 0101.04, NIJ 0101.06 and other well-known standards. FMS plates can be used either as a stand-alone or in conjunction with NIJ level IIIA vest depending on the specific plate design. FMS plates provide NIJ level III and NIJ level III+ protection against assault rifles.
Ceramic Body Armour Plates Against Armour Piercing Threats
Higher protection levels and tailor made protection solutions such as NIJ level IV or Russian standard GOST R 50744-95 levels 5, 5A, 6 and 6A can be met by using ceramic-composite insert plates. All plates feature a high multi-hit capability, providing the wearer with an outstanding degree of safety if hit by multiple fragments or projectiles.
Groin Protection Plates
Optional groin protection bulletproof plates give enhanced lower torso protection against various threats. Such plates are considered as an on demand add-on to the main part of a bulletproof vest. The groin protector is considered as a standard component in the the Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV).
Neck Protection Plates
Optional neck protection bulletproof soft panels or hard plates give enhanced neck protection against various threats. Such protection solutions are considered as an on demand add-on to the main part of a bulletproof vest. The neck protector is considered as a standard component in the the Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV).
