GlasArmor panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites provide excellent ballistic stopping power for the MPS while meeting the requirement of being lightweight and portable.
They are constructed from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber reinforcements combined with a proprietary resin system in a continuous pultrusion manufacturing process.
The composite material is 25% the weight of comparable steel structures, and also weighs significantly less than concrete, making them easily deployable in the field.
