In modern warfare and defense logistics, protecting personnel and assets inside military vehicles is non-negotiable. At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply a wide range of certified armor plates for military vehicle protection, tailored to meet global ballistic standards like STANAG, NIJ, and MIL-DTL specifications.
Whether you’re an OEM defense vehicle manufacturer, retrofit contractor, or government defense agency, we offer ready stock, custom cutting, and export support for armor steel plates suited for all types of military vehicles.
Armor plates for military vehicles are high-hardness, impact-resistant steel plates designed to protect vehicle occupants against ballistic threats, blast impacts, and fragmentation.
Key Features of Military Vehicle Armor Plates:
We supply raw plates, cut-to-size panels, and pre-drilled armor kits for APCs, MRAPs, tactical trucks, and specialized defense vehicles.
Where are these armor plates used?
Common military vehicle applications include:
Our armor plates for military vehicles are engineered for maximum ballistic protection and field durability.
| Property | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Hardness | 400–550 BHN (Depending on grade) |
| Yield Strength | 1000–1400 MPa |
| Tensile Strength | 1200–1700 MPa |
| Elongation | 8–15% |
| Impact Toughness | Maintained at low operating temperatures |
| Ballistic Rating | Tested as per STANAG 4569, NIJ Level III/IV, or MIL-DTL-46100/12560 |
Whether your project requires high hardness armor (HHA), rolled homogeneous armor (RHA), or lightweight multi-hit plates, we offer grade-specific supply options.
For custom ballistic performance parameters, contact us for datasheets or project-wise consultation.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply armor plates that comply with leading global defense standards for military vehicle protection.

From urban combat zones to riot-prone civilian areas, armor & protection steel plates play a critical role in safeguarding lives, assets, and infrastructure.
Armor steel isn’t one-size-fits-all. Based on mission type, threat level, region-specific compliance, and user profile (military, VIP, civilian), different armor plate grades are engineered for maximum protection, performance, and cost-efficiency.
