This milestone represents a significant step forward in the development of national technological expertise.
In addition to the rocket launch, and as part of our strategic commitment to defence innovation, OPTIMAL Group – through its dedicated division, OPTIMAL PROTECTION – participated in the Army Technological Experimentation (ARTEX 25), presenting demonstrations of our certified composite-based ballistic protection systems.
Alongside our certified composite-based ballistic protection systems, which meet NATO AEP-55 STANAG 4569 levels K1, K2, and K3, we are actively advancing solutions for higher protection levels – including K4, which we successfully tested during ARTEX 25.
This initiative reflects our dedication to delivering validated, high-performance systems tailored to the most demanding defence environments.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Portuguese Army for their continued support and collaboration.
