The operational challenge
Invisible structural damage that is difficult to detect in the field.
Ceramic ballistic plates can develop micro-cracks that are invisible to the naked eye following impacts, drops, or exposure to demanding storage and handling conditions. These hidden defects can compromise ballistic protection without any visible indication.
Current inspection methods rely on X-ray analysis, requiring plates to be returned to centralized facilities. This process is complex, costly, and performed after the fact, making it unsuitable for rapid verification in operational environments.

Solution
A secure, passive, and field-deployable system.
Integrated Passive Sensor
Embedded into the ballistic plate during manufacturing. Operates without onboard power or complex electronics.
Rapid Field Assessment
A portable reader communicates with the plate via a dedicated RFID link, enabling integrity verification in just a few seconds without requiring specialized inspection facilities.
Lifecycle Traceability
Full lifecycle tracking, operational history management, fleet oversight, and decision support for maintenance and replacement planning.
TRL 8 · Ready for deployment.
Armor Check enhances personal protection by providing field-ready integrity verification and lifecycle traceability for critical ballistic protection equipment, directly in operational conditions.
Demonstrated at Eurosatory 2024 on the French Ministry of Armed Forces stand.
