Vehicle glass after high-calibre ballistic impact — Fortis-protected panel remains intact

Vehicle Protection.
Light enough to keep its tactical edge.

Conventional vehicle armoring adds tons of weight, kills suspension and braking, and demands constant maintenance. Fortis solutions are engineered around composite science — UHMWPE, polycarbonate, ceramic, and FTL laminate — to deliver certified BR-grade protection while preserving the original vehicle's tactical characteristics.

Glass armoring Panels & components

Why lightweight matters

Tactical performance,
not compromised by armor.

Traditional armoring adds tons of weight to a vehicle — affecting brakes, suspension, range, fuel consumption, and frequency of service. The hidden cost isn't the armor; it's everything the armor breaks.

With Fortis lightweight composites, an armored vehicle keeps its tactical characteristics — speed, versatility, range, braking distance, fuel economy — and avoids the cascade of mechanical reinforcements (suspension, brakes, frame) that traditional armoring forces onto every armored unit.

Curved vehicle glass

FPCG vehicle glass.
BR2 to BR7.

Curved vehicle glass composites are produced in Fortis facilities in Slovenia and Turkey using autoclave units, silicon bags, and steel molds. PET lamination is performed in dust-free rooms. Glass can replace OEM panes directly or be supplied as the complete composite unit. 65% protection from day-1; full curing in 80–90 days depending on conditions.

Lamination is performed off-vehicle in dust-free conditions, then re-installed. Lab-traceable batch records and certified test reports provided per project. Detailed material specifications shared under NDA during the technical briefing.

Non-transparent panels

Doors, pillars, roof, hood.
Composite armor.

Non-transparent vehicle parts — doors, pillars, roof, hood — are protected with composites of UHMWPE (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene), SiC ceramics, and (in limited cases) ballistic steel. Tested to EN 1522 / FB classification.

Beyond glass and panels

Wheels, fuel, hood — every weak point.

Wheels

RunFlat Systems

Up to 100 km of range with deflated tyres after ballistic or terrain damage. RunFlat International is the leading independent supplier in the defence and security sector.

Tested to FINABEL 20.A.5 (50 km) and FINABEL A.20.A (100 km).

Fuel Tank

Ballistic Rubber Protection

Ballistic-rubber wrap of thickness matched to the required protection level. Optional install per client request, performed by Fortis technicians.

Custom

Hood, Engine Bay & More

Hood protection and other vehicle areas are designed by the Fortis R&D team upon customer request. Bring us a vehicle and a threat profile; we'll engineer the solution.

Prototype — Awaiting Homologation

Vehicle portable lightweight shield (BR4)

A transparent BR4 shield (Acrylic + Polycarbonate + PET) that hooks onto the external side of a vehicle door — protecting both the window and metal panel. Stops all handgun ammunition up to BR4.

Currently in prototype, undergoing homologation. On certification it will be deployed for law-enforcement operational work where firearm engagement is anticipated, and patrols in elevated-violence neighborhoods.
