Defence Security Systems for Military, Police, and Public Critical Infrastructures

FORTIS Ballistic Protection d.o.o. is a Slovenian specialist in lightweight ballistic and blast protection solutions for vehicles, buildings, critical infrastructure and custom high-risk applications. Its defence security systems are relevant for military and police environments, specialised vehicles, secure facilities and public critical infrastructures where protection must be combined with mobility, reduced structural load and project-specific requirements. FORTIS develops advanced bullet-resistant composite materials and states that its lightweight solutions can be up to 75% lighter than traditional ballistic and blast protection armour.

The company focuses on protection against ballistic, explosive and bomb-blast threats in demanding environments. Rather than relying on a single standard configuration, FORTIS provides solutions for different types of vehicles, buildings and sensitive facilities, as well as customised projects where the protection system must be adapted to the application.

Lightweight ballistic protection for vehicles and secure facilities

Weight is an important consideration in many defence and security systems, particularly when additional armour is installed on vehicles or incorporated into an existing structure. Excessive weight can affect vehicle mobility, payload capacity and the structural requirements of a building.

FORTIS therefore specialises in lightweight ballistic armour technology designed to provide protection while minimising unnecessary added mass. Its solutions include:

• automotive armouring,
• building armouring,
• critical infrastructure armouring,
• custom ballistic protection systems.

For vehicle applications, lightweight armouring can be particularly relevant where mobility and protection must work together. This can include specialised security vehicles and other platforms operating in higher-risk environments. For buildings, FORTIS develops protective solutions intended to strengthen sensitive facilities without relying exclusively on heavy conventional armour.

The company also produces bullet-resistant composite materials designed to provide ballistic protection against projectiles from short and long firearms of different calibres and ammunition types, including long-rifle API projectiles.

Defence security systems for public critical infrastructure

Critical infrastructure requires a different approach from standard physical security. Facilities that provide essential services may need to remain operational even when exposed to elevated security risks, making the protection of people, equipment and strategic areas particularly important.

FORTIS provides critical infrastructure armouring for essential sectors and sensitive facilities, with protective systems developed according to the requirements of the individual project. The same approach can be applied to public buildings and secure facilities where ballistic or blast protection forms part of a broader security concept.

This project-based approach is particularly relevant for public critical infrastructures, where dimensions, existing construction, required protection, available space and structural limitations can differ substantially from one facility to another.

FORTIS also offers custom armouring solutions for specialised vehicles, secure facilities and architectural applications. After an initial consultation, the company assesses the customer's requirements, recommends a suitable solution and guides the project through the subsequent setup and installation process.

Custom ballistic and blast protection from Slovenia

FORTIS Ballistic Protection originates from Slovenia and develops its technology with an emphasis on lightweight construction, ballistic performance and adaptability to demanding environments. The company works with partners to develop new combinations of protective materials and positions its solutions for applications where conventional heavy armour may create limitations.

A suitable defence security system for military, police, and public critical infrastructures cannot be selected solely according to the size of the protected area. The type of threat, required protection level, available weight, installation environment and operational requirements all influence the final configuration.

For this reason, FORTIS does not publish a standard price list for complete protection systems. Vehicle armouring, building protection and critical-infrastructure projects are individually specified, with the final solution depending on the required materials, dimensions, protection requirements and installation conditions.
