1. ISRAELI PLASAN - INTERNATIONAL PROVIDER OF SOLUTIONS FOR
MILITARY AND CIVILIAN VEHICLES

2. INTRODUCTION
• Plasan is an international provider of customised, lightweight survivability
solutions for military and civilian vehicles, armoured personnel carriers,
aircraft and naval platforms and personal protection.
• Plasan combines R&D, design, vehicle styling, prototyping, ballistic and blast
testing facilities, FEA expertise as well as programme and manufacturing
capabilities under one roof.
• With tens of thousands of shooting tests and hundreds of blast tests carried
out annually within its own facilities, Plasan maintains a wealth of ballistic
data, which is used as a basis for new and more efficient designs.

4. PASSIVE PROTECTION
• Plasan develops and manufactures passive protection kits for military and
civilian vehicles that are exposed to attack from small-arms fire, grenades,
anti-personnel mines and RPG missiles.
• Plasan designs and produces complete armoured hulls as well as add-on
armour. Plasan's expertise in materials, ballistics and vehicle design produces
armour systems that can meet a wide spectrum of threat and weight
requirements.

6. BLAST MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
• Plasan has unique expertise in blast management techniques, and can offer blast
solutions for any vehicle by combining geometrical, structural and energy-absorbing
materials with advanced seat technologies for maximum protection.
• Plasan's 'Kitted Hull' design approach features a pre-manufactured kit with bolted
panels replacing welded components.
• Besides supporting ease of upgrade and repair, this design facilitates mass production by
allowing multiple facilities to work in parallel, alleviating the dependence on skilled and
expensive welders as well as avoiding time-consuming work backups that may develop
at a single production site.

8. PASSIVE RPG DEFEATER
• One of Plasan's innovations is the UFF (Ultra Flex Fence) family of RPG passive
defeaters, which outperforms the previous generation of passive RPG.
• Plasan's UFF solution, shown in image 4 installed on a Sandcat vehicle, is a next-
generation passive RPG defeater with a protection performance of 80%
neutralisations (90% of which are 'silent', non-damaging neutralisations) thereby
bypassing previous solutions.
• It presents a robust exterior that is free of the field durability issues associated with
net-based products.

10. ARMOUR PROTECTION
FOR TRUCKS
• The Oshkosh HEMTT A4 recovery truck, or wrecker, offers heavy-duty power and extreme performance for the most
difficult recovery missions. It has the manoeuvrability to traverse any type of terrain and the power to recover vehicles
weighing in excess of 10t that are mired in mud, sand, water or snow. Plasan has been supplying armour protection for
this truck since 2009.
FOR ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES
• The Viking BvS-10 is an all-terrain armoured vehicle produced by BAE Land Systems' Hägglunds of Sweden. It was
originally developed as a collaboration between Hägglunds Vehicle and the UK MoD on behalf of the Royal Marines.
Plasan has been supplying armour protection (including SMART armour) for the Viking since 2009.
