Moldable Panels

MOLDABLE VEHICLE ARMOR PANELS

UST has developed a patent-pending lightweight moldable armor that has been tested internally and independently at various labs. UST’s focus has been on a composite prepreg, aramid, and optional ceramic molded solution. 

UST has addressed the five essentials for any military armor program within their moldable armor manufacturing process.

Cost Effective
UST uses lower cost, readily available, commercial-off-the-shelf materials along with its own proprietary (patent-pending) fiber and panel processing designs. No exotic, sensitive processing materials or processes are used.  UST utilizes six sigma and lean manufacturing techniques.

Lightweight
Optimized panel data allows for scaling for the threat. No excess material is used, reducing weight and cost.

Meets Specifications
UST has demonstrated ability to defeat NIJ Level III and IV threats, and Mil-Std-2105B FSP (6000 fps).

Works with Other Systems
Moldable panels are thin; can be customized for size, weight, and installation. Waterproof. Fireproof. UV resistant. Temperature invariant. Moldable to the surface needing armor.

Mass-Producible
Present UST fiber processing capacity exceeds 40 tons per month; this can be doubled overnight and can be quadrupled in eight weeks. Panel processing is with global composite processing facility.
