Kevlar® Radar Shell Case Study

Highly Durable and impact resistant Kevlar®, that protects state-of-the-art ultra-wideband Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) arrays, that are used in the detection of un-exploded mines and other underground explosives

Challenge:

Provide a strong lightweight protective shell, that doesn't impact the Radar systems effectiveness.

Solution:

A lightweight para-aramid Kevlar® shell

Details:

In the extremely challenging and non-forgiving field of landmine Detection. A strong yet lightweight solution is required, to provide protection for the Radar Arrays. Kevlar® which is a para-aramid fiber with 5 times the strength of steel on an equal weight basis, fits the bill.
