Scanfiber has developed an enhanced spall liner to increase the level of protection against spall resulting from a RPG or a powerful IED. Not even the thick armor of an MBT can withstand the direct hit by an RPG and standard spall liners are often insufficient in reducing the amount of spall being released from the main amour to satisfactory levels.
Scanfiber has developed a spall liner concept combining both a rigid and a flexible spall liner. The two in combination have in live tests reduced the number of penetrations of the inner spall liner with more than 50% and have resulted in a significant reduction of the angle in which the spall is shot into the cabin, compared with the reference armor system consisting of only a traditional spall liner.
