STANAG 4569 Defense Armor Plates – NATO Ballistic Protection Levels I to IV

STANAG 4569 defines ballistic protection levels for NATO military vehicles and installations. If you’re building or supplying defense-grade equipment that must stop armor-piercing rounds, mine blasts, or heavy projectiles, this standard is your benchmark.

We supply armor steel plates certified for STANAG 4569 compliance — ideal for armored vehicles, bunkers, riot trucks, and ballistic shields.

What is STANAG 4569?

STANAG 4569 is a NATO standard agreement that specifies the levels of protection for occupants of logistic and light armored vehicles. It defines five levels (I to V) for ballistic threats, mine explosions, and artillery shrapnel.

Our supplied plates are certified or equivalent to Level I–IV, covering the most widely used threat environments for defense contractors and OEMs.

STANAG 4569 Ballistic Protection Levels (Summary)

Protection Level Threat Description
Level I 7.62×51mm NATO Ball @ 30m
Level II 7.62×39mm API @ 30m
Level III 7.62×51mm AP @ 30m
Level IV 14.5×114mm API @ 200m
Level V 25mm APDS-T @ 500m (Rare in supply)

Note: Higher levels require specialized armor systems or combinations of steel, ceramics, and composites.
