Mission
These kits give the armoured vehicles in service the capability to protect themselves:

against small and medium-calibre threats up to the 35 mm calibre (any 12.7 mm AP rounds, and any 25, 30 and 35 mm AP - APDS - APFSDS medium-calibre round): Add-on ballistic passive armour kits KSBP. Such protection is provided under the best weight conditions with an excellent multi-impact resistance.
against blast effect mines and shaped charge mines (type TMRP6): Mine protection kits KPAM. The lightweight and compact size of these kits allow to keep all the mobility capabilities.

Specifications
The modularity of such kits provides for ease of installation on any vehicles and takes into account the threat level/weight/cost requirements.

These kits incorporate the latest technologies by combining:

materials such as ceramics and composites, as well as metal materials such as high-performance aluminium alloys, very high hardness steel plates and titanium alloys (KSBP),
an optimised architecture with light materials featuring high energy absorption capabilities, whether under the wheel, under the track or under the floor (KPAM).

They provide protection against threats meeting the STANAG 4569 standard.
