Armor

Rezvani specializes in luxury vehicular protection. That means bullet- and bomb-proof while relaxing with the best comforts money can buy. The 2025 Vengeance has the goods Bond would be proud of.

In what they're calling the "highest density of mechanical bonds ever achieved," researchers created a super-strong flexible material that works very much like chainmail. The breakthrough has already demonstrated its ability to improve body armor.

Whether you live in Cell Block 9, the UK, or simply work a high-risk job where sharp objects pose a hazard, this lightweight, water- and stab-proof jacket is designed to keep you warm, dry and alive.

Aiming to make armored vehicles stealthier, Rolls-Royce is using this year's Eurosatory defense trade fair to debut a new concept hybrid diesel engine that not only makes tanks and such more efficient, but easier to hide.

An ancient mystery may have been solved after researchers, with the help of 13 Hellenic Marines, proved that a unique 3,500-year-old suit of Greek armor wasn't necessarily just for show, but could have been used for combat at the time of the Trojan War.

Soldiers and tactical unit police officers often have a lot of heavy gear to carry, including the ballistic body armor that they're wearing. That's where the ExoM Up-Armoured Exoskeleton is intended to come in, as it's load-reducing and bulletproof.

Researchers at the University of Kent have developed a protein-based family of synthetic materials that can withstand supersonic impacts. Called TSAMs, they see these materials one day finding use in military and space applications.

Highland Systems is adding to its fearsome vehicle lineup in extraordinary style, with an 11-seat armored speed demon it calls the Kronos. Clearly inspired by the manta ray, this hybrid beast rocks folding wings and 1,200 horsepower of propulsion.

Engineers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have forged a new type of ultralight armor material described as a nanofiber mat, which features a unique chemistry that enables it to outperform Kevlar and steel.

A new example of a material with shape-shifting capabilities is modeled on ancient chain mail armor, enabling it to swiftly switch from flexible to stiff thanks to carefully arranged interlocking particles.

A light weight and slim form are two very desirable attributes when it comes to next-gen armor materials. With this in mind, scientists have used advanced nanoscale engineering to craft a new armor material they say outperforms Kevlar and steel.

Milirem Robotics has rolled out its Type-X Robotic Combat Vehicle for its first mobility tests. Unveiled in 2020, it's a medium-weight autonomous armored platform, designed to provide reconnaissance and fire support for mechanized units and convoys.
