Defense manufacturer ArmorTech Solutions has rolled out a new line of silicon carbide ceramic armor tiles designed to protect light tactical vehicles. These tiles offer high-level ballistic protection while keeping weight low. The company says this helps maintain vehicle speed and fuel efficiency during missions.

Silicon carbide is known for its hardness and strength. It can stop high-velocity rifle rounds that would penetrate standard steel plates. The new tiles use a refined manufacturing process that reduces internal flaws. This makes them more reliable under repeated impacts.
The armor tiles are made to fit onto existing vehicle frames without major modifications. Installation takes less time compared to older systems. Soldiers can get back into the field faster after upgrades. The tiles also work with add-on kits for extra coverage in high-risk zones.
Field tests showed the tiles performed well against common battlefield threats. They met or exceeded military standards for protection levels. Durability was strong even after exposure to dust, mud, and extreme temperatures. Maintenance needs stayed low over long deployments.
ArmorTech Solutions developed the tiles in response to requests from military units. Troops needed better protection without sacrificing mobility. Light tactical vehicles often operate in areas where heavy armor is not practical. These new tiles give a solid balance between safety and agility.

Production is now active at the company’s U.S. facility. Initial orders have been filled for domestic and allied forces. The company plans to scale output as demand grows. Each tile goes through strict quality checks before shipping. This ensures consistent performance across all batches.
