The area of defence often uses a combination of technical ceramic properties that enable it to meet very specific requirements and determine the operational capabilities of the equipment:
- Mechanical strength, high level of hardness and light weight for armour plating, and even transparency for reinforced glazing
- Electrical insulation and mechanical strength for distributors
- Optical transparency, infra-red, electromagnetic, combined with thermo-mechanical strength and abrasion resistance for on-board windows.
Applications / Constraints
- Light ballistic protection for the infantry, land vehicles and aircraft
- High-speed missile seekers, guided bombs and drones
- On-board optronic equipment
- Lighters for weapons systems
- Designation lasers
