NP Aerospace designs discreet hot formed armour solutions for Civilian Armoured Vehicles (CAVs) tailored to the requirements of the threat, the individual platform and the operating environment. We offer a global vehicle systems and support service for CAVs to extend the life of vehicles and meet the needs of Government agencies. We design, test and manufacture on site at NP Aerospace and provide dependable in-field support.
Hot forming enables armour panels to be manufactured in complex shapes that closely follow vehicle contours, helping to preserve the vehicle’s original appearance while minimising the number of individual armour components required. The process supports the production of precision-engineered armour panels and efficient integration within the vehicle architecture.
Hot formed armour is particularly suited to Civilian Armoured Vehicle applications where low-profile protection and platform-specific integration are key requirements. The capability enables armour solutions to be tailored to a wide range of vehicle types and operational environments, supporting government and security users worldwide.
Through our comprehensive Civilian Armoured Vehicle support package and in-house team of automotive experts, we provide complete lifecycle management and through-life support. Hot formed armour solutions can be maintained, upgraded and adapted to meet evolving operational requirements.
