Defence Systems

Vexon have highly experienced specialists in creating carbon fibre parts and components for the defence sector. We create a wide range of defensive and offensive structures for the defence industry.

We build carbon fibre composite products for a many different defence contractors and create parts that have an excellent surface finish, have an outstanding weight to performance ration and are agile by design.

Defence Composite Structures

Our expertise in creating carbon fibre composite structures and 3D Printed alloys means that we provide high quality defence components to our customers.

Carbon fibre composites and 3D Printed structures are outstanding in applications that require a combination of being lightweight and maintain high performance.

We create many different types of defence components and undertake the design, pattern creation for producing a mould, carbon fibre lay-down and subsequent curing and finishing processes. We carry out everything inhouse to minimise cost and control the final quality of the carbon fibre products that we produce.

Ultra Bainite Advanced Armour

Armour systems for fighting vehicles are traditionally expensive and adds weight to the platform. Our Ultra Bainite Steel is a low-cost ultra-high hardness armour steel that provides an alternative to current protective armour plate.

Out ultra-bainitic steel has a steel crystal structure that are just one-fifteenth the size of those in standard steel, this makes it much stronger. By carefully adjusting the alloying elements including manganese, silicon, chromium and molybdenum, the level of carbides are reduced and results in a superior armour steel product.

Creating the next Generation of Advanced Armour

Ultra-Bainite Steel (UBS) is a high performance steel with a ballistic performance at three times that of traditional conventional Rolled Homogenous Armour (RHA). It is both ultra-hard (670Hv) and is highly effective against a range of projectiles and munitions.
