Plasan, an Israeli manufacturer of armor protection solutions for vehicles, will unveil a new technology named Multi-Functional Armor (MFA) at the DSEI 2017 show, which will take place in London next week (September 12-15, 2017). With this new technology, Plasan offers platform Situational Awareness (SA) enhancement using the armor panel only as the carrier.
Modern operational requirements stemming from 21st Century asymmetric warfare dictate that individual platforms must gather and share as much information as possible to build and enhance mutual SA. According to Plasan, the MFA tech offers a passive hit detection capability along with other unique features embedded in the armored panels that would provide situational awareness, allowing the crew to manage the situation effectively, and enabling clear-cut information to be passed to the right people at the right time.
Some of the main features of the MFA include hit detection on the platform in real time; health monitoring of the armor panels; identifying the area of threat; real-time proximity alerts; integration to any battle management systems (BMS); and rollover and impact analysis.
