DEFENCE

Thanks to its expertise in the development and the production of high-performance ceramics,

Norimat can produce military grade materials for ballistic applications (SiC, B4C, ZrB2, …).

Field Assisted Sintering Technology, Spark Plasma Sintering (FAST/SPS) can be used for the fabrication of light shielding modules and elements, significantly enhancing the protection performance and equipment weight ratio of troops and light vehicles.

FEASABILITY STUDY

Norimat is also developing a new generation of shielding (composed of multi-material assemblies), in order to more efficiently address the evolving threat environment.

This technology offers ultralight solutions for infantryman equipment or the shielding of combat helicopters.
