The Warrior turret features Plasan's advanced add on armor and turret hatches. In fact, Plasan features on many of the world's leading platforms, both on land and sea, due to their ability to work closely with OEM engineers and fully integrate solutions onto and into vehicles, often during the early design phase. It is this capability to provide a complete solution that differentiates Plasan from mere armor suppliers.

In February 2018, Israel’s armor specialist Plasan was selected to design and produce armor protection for Britain’s new Type 26 frigate. Plasan’s armor technology will be designed to feature the enhanced capability and flexibility required for the navy’s Type 26 concept. Plasan is expected to begin the production of armor for the first three vessels of the class this year under the arrangement.

Plasan can also offer system integration services to create an infrastructure for integrating advanced vehicle systems. Each vehicle can be equipped with a system that easily manages a variety of communication, command and control systems that assist in defense and homeland security missions.
