Tech Breakdown

Layered Engineering Approach

FMS Uni-Directional Aramid fabrics are engineered for soft armor and hybrid protection solutions where flexibility, stab resistance, and multi-threat performance are critical.

Material Characteristics

  • Aramid fiber strength up to 5× steel on an equal-weight basis
  • Flexible thermoplastic matrix for controlled energy dispersion

FMS UD Aramid fabrics are also a global benchmark for anti-stab and anti-spike protection, internationally deployed and supplied to numerous police forces and military organizations worldwide.

UD Aramid fabrics are widely used in soft ballistic vests, anti-stab systems, and layered armor packages.

This layered engineering approach allows law enforcement and military personnel to achieve higher protection levels at lower overall system weight.
