Nurol Teknoloji introduced Armor Integrity, a next-generation situational awareness system developed for land, air, and naval platforms, at the IDEF 2025 International Defense Industry Fair held at the Istanbul Expo Center.Developed entirely with domestic engineering capabilities, Armor Integrity is designed to enhance the safety of armored vehicle crews and support effective decision-making in high-threat operational environments. Serving as an intelligent security layer, the system instantly analyzes whether a hit has occurred, the direction and number of threats, the impact on the armor, and the level of penetration—providing users with real-time information.Thanks to high-precision sensors integrated into the armor surface and advanced algorithms, the system can determine the direction, intensity, and angle of ballistic threats while also assessing the armor’s current resilience and remaining service life.With its modular architecture, Armor Integrity can be seamlessly integrated into land, air, and naval platforms, as well as manned and unmanned systems. It also operates in full compatibility with existing command and control systems. By processing data from multiple sensors through sensor fusion, the system delivers layered and meaningful analyses of battlefield events. In this way, it not only ensures real-time protection but also serves as a strategic resource for post-mission analysis, tactical development, and training activities.For more details on the features of Armor Integrity, please see the Anadolu Agency article: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.aa.com.tr/tr/dosya-haber/saldiriya-kalkisan-iki-kere-dusunecek/3633652">https://www.aa.com.tr/tr/dosya-haber/saldiriya-kalkisan-iki-kere-dusunecek/3633652</a>
