Full-composite armoured vehicle door

EMEA – October 27, 2026 -- Integris Composites and Arquus have launched joint development and testing of a full-composite armoured vehicle door, designed to cut weight against traditional metallic solutions while meeting ballistic and blast requirements.

Composite door replaces steel structure plus add-on armour

The programme will compare the ballistic performance, durability, survivability and mass-saving potential of the composite architecture with conventional armoured doors. Those doors combine steel structures with add-on armour. Integris says the lower weight improves vehicle mobility and reduces maintenance requirements.

The door is designed to address lateral mine blast and IED fragmentation threats.
