The "Warrior Expo 2024" military and tactical equipment exhibition took place in Moscow at the Tishinka Exhibition Center, featuring products from over 50 domestic manufacturers. NPF TEHINKOM showcased its "Granit Br4", "Granit Br4+", and "Granit Br5+" armor panels, created using their multi-stage molding technology. The armor panels are made from ceramic tiles of aluminum oxide and a composite based on UHMWPE.
The armor panels are part of a protective composition for the user. This includes not only the armor panel but also a fragmentation screen with a V50% parameter of at least 550 m/s and a shock-absorbing layer (SAL), and it is precisely when using the protection as a complex that the maximum life-saving effect is achieved.
All three types of armor panels can be installed in both the chest and back sections of a bulletproof vest or plate carrier due to their ergonomic shape and two-plane curvature. Depending on the modification, they weigh from 2.5 to 3.7 kg.
According to representatives of NPF TEHINKOM, all "Granit" panels manufactured by them have:
- high operational durability;
- specific solutions to minimize the effect of lateral ejection in edge impacts;
- the ability to retain their properties after repeated drops on a hard surface;
- the ability to retain their properties at low and high temperatures in the range from -50 to +50 degrees Celsius;
- a minimum distance between impact centers of at least 70 mm and at least 20 mm from the edge of the armor panel;
- a composite ceramic layer consisting of individual segments. This helps to avoid severe damage upon impact and increases its survivability.
It is noted that by the beginning of 2024, the manufacturer has already produced more than 1 million armor panels of various classes over more than 20 years of operation.
It is worth noting that during the "Warrior Expo 2024", a forum dedicated to military affairs, tactics, weapons, and equipment was also held. It featured presentations by developers of Russian equipment, volunteers of humanitarian missions, rescuers, and rehabilitation psychologists.
