- Defense, law enforcement, and governmental users
Material Advantages
Designed Around Hardness, Toughness, and Weight
Ballistic strike-face materials must help fragment a projectile, absorb and transfer energy, and dissipate stored energy through controlled fracture.
2
Fracture Toughness
The titanium alloy matrix direction is intended to improve toughness compared with traditional ceramic-only materials.
3
Low Density
Lower weight supports mobility and payload capacity in vehicle and protection system designs.
4
Cost Direction
The manufacturing approach is intended to support competitive production economics for qualified applications.
First Responder Applications
Armored Response Vehicle Protection
Traditional metal armor can be excessively heavy for modern mobility and payload requirements. Lightweight armor materials can help balance functionality, mobility, and survivability for public-safety and response vehicles.
Ticor™ ballistic armor tile technology is intended for qualified vehicle armor and body armor applications, including authorized first responder, law enforcement, defense, and governmental use.
Form Factors and Surface Concepts
Modular Tile Design Language
Product visuals can illustrate both practical tile form factors and the modular protective pattern language behind advanced armor material systems.
Tile Dimensions and Thickness Options
Tile shapes and thickness options support flexible use across different armor system requirements and installation needs.
Hexagonal Protective Surface Pattern
A clean hexagonal pattern suggests modular, engineered surface protection while maintaining a refined, non-militaristic product presentation.
