Applications 620 HB
Projectiles break on impact with the ultra high hard Mars 300, losing their efficiency and ability to
damage the protected structure. Perforated MARS 300 is a lightweight solution equivalent when used
add-on armor.

Perforated MARS 300 kits are mainly used for light and medium vehicles to improve their protection
from a stanag level 2 to stanag level 4.

Perforated MARS 300 is also used as ventilation grille (engine, cabin).
