Advanced Composites for the Ballistic & Defence Development Industries

Stronger, Lighter, Smarter Protection for Ballistic and Defence Applications

Innovative Material Solutions for Armour and Protective Systems

GMS Composites supplies high-performance composite prepregs, fabrics, and laminated products specifically engineered for the ballistic and defence sector. Our range includes aramid glass and carbon fibre reinforcements and toughened epoxy resin systems, tailored to meet the rigorous demands of protective applications. These materials are applied in soft and hard armour systems, helmet shells, spall liners, vehicle underbody protection, structural shielding, and protective enclosures.

Known for their superior strength-to-weight ratios, energy absorption capacity, and resistance to impact and fatigue, our composite solutions enable manufacturers to reduce weight without compromising performance. This translates into enhanced mobility, improved wearability, and reduced fuel consumption across defence platforms. GMS products help OEMs meet strict ballistic, environmental, and structural specifications while streamlining production and extending product life.

By partnering with GMS Composites, defence suppliers gain access to proven material systems that support reliability in high-risk environments.
