When your project demands NATO-certified ballistic protection, STANAG 4569 Armor Plates are the global reference for vehicle armor and combat zone infrastructure defense.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply STANAG 4569-compliant steel armor plates that meet various protection levels (Level 1 to Level 6), used by military OEMs, defense contractors, and armoring specialists worldwide.
Whether it’s for light armored vehicles (LAVs), mine-protected trucks, or military shelters, our armor-grade steel plates are tailored for multi-hit ballistic and blast resistance as per the STANAG 4569 standard.
STANAG 4569 is a NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) Standardization Agreement, defining ballistic protection levels for occupants of logistic and light armored vehicles.
Key Highlights of STANAG 4569 Armor Plates:
Whether you need STANAG Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, or higher, we can supply custom thickness armor plates as per your target protection level.

Before finalizing your order for STANAG 4569 Armor Plates, here’s what to clarify:
Which STANAG protection level do you need?
What thickness is required for your target level?
Thickness ranges differ for each STANAG level
Is this for vehicle hull, floor, or roof protection?
Different areas need different thicknesses and impact tolerances.
Do you need cut-to-size parts or full sheets?
Will you require ballistic test reports with the order?
For defense tenders and OEM vehicle contracts, this is often mandatory.
Pro Tip: Share your project specs or drawings, and our team will suggest the correct grade, level, and thickness.
For every STANAG 4569 plate order, Hindustan Steel Corporation provides:
If your project is government tender-based, we also assist with documentation and test sample preparation.
It’s a NATO-standard ballistic steel plate designed to protect vehicle occupants against small arms, rifle rounds, and blast threats.
There are six levels (Level 1 to Level 6), each defining specific projectile type, velocity, and impact condition.
Level 2 and Level 3 are commonly used for light vehicles.
Typically between 8 mm and 16 mm, but exact thickness varies by manufacturer and steel grade.
Yes, Level 3 and above are tested against armor-piercing (AP) projectiles.
Yes, we offer custom cutting, drilling, and shape profiling.
Yes, available on request at the time of order.
Defense vehicle OEMs, military infrastructure builders, and ballistic testing labs.

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.
