Ceramic armor plate Velmet Base level M (Set)
Velmet Base Level Ceramic Armor Plate (SO, DSTU 8782:2018)
Velmet Base Level armor plate is a ceramic ballistic plate designed for fragmentation protection in accordance with DSTU 8782:2018 (SO). It also provides enhanced resistance against small arms fire, including 5.45×39 mm (7N10, 7N10M) and 7.62×39 mm BZ (MSC).
The design is optimized to reduce weight and improve user mobility, making this armor plate an effective solution for scenarios where maneuverability, long-term comfort, and reliable baseline protection against modern threats are critical.
Key Features of Velmet Ceramic Armor Plates
- fragmentation protection compliant with DSTU 8782:2018 (SO);
- stops 5.45×39 mm (7N10, 7N10M) — up to 8 hits;
- stops 7.62×39 mm BZ (MSC) — at 10 meters;
- composite construction: ceramic + UHMWPE;
- crack propagation control for improved multi-hit performance;
- reduced weight without compromising ballistic performance;
- enhanced comfort during prolonged wear.
Protection of Critical Areas Without Loss of Mobility
Velmet Base Level is engineered for scenarios where a balance between protection and mobility is essential. The plate is suitable for military personnel, special units, UAV operators, medics, and logistics teams who require reliable protection against fragmentation and selected ballistic threats while maintaining high mobility.
Ballistic Performance of Base Level Plates
The composite structure allows the plate to effectively withstand multiple impacts by limiting crack propagation — a common drawback of monolithic ceramic armor. Velmet armor plates are tested in certified laboratories, including multi-hit performance testing.
According to DSTU 8782:2018, the plate provides fragmentation protection (SO) and effectively stops fragments weighing 2.84 g (FSP). The SO classification reflects the current standard, which does not fully account for modern threat types and ammunition.
Construction: Ceramic + UHMWPE
The armor plate is manufactured using multi-layer ballistic materials, including a ceramic strike face and a UHMWPE backing (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene), ensuring effective stopping power and energy absorption.
The composite structure distributes impact energy across the surface, reduces penetration risk, and minimizes backface deformation. It also stabilizes the ceramic layer and limits crack propagation, improving multi-hit capability.
Comparison with Other Armor Plate Types
Compared to UHMWPE plates, Velmet Base Level offers improved resistance to hardened core rounds such as 7N10, 7N6M, and 7N10M.
Compared to steel plates, it eliminates ricochet risk, reduces weight, and provides significantly better comfort during extended use.
Threat Protection Table
| Threat / Weapon | Ammunition | Condition (Velocity) | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fragments | FSP 2.84 g | V100 (1000 m/s) | stopped |
| AK-74 | 5.45×39 mm (7N10) | up to 8 hits (910 ±15 m/s) | stopped |
| AKM | 7.62×39 mm BZ (MSC) | single hits (845 ±15 m/s) | stopped |
