Custom-built ceramic armor plates designed to match the Russian Granit multi-curve profile. This 2-piece set provides RF2 or RF3 protection in the distinctive multi-curve shape of the Russian Granit armor system, manufactured in the USA with high-quality materials and proven construction methods.
Key Features:
- Custom-manufactured for Granit compatibility - Specifically sized and shaped to match Russian Granit Size 2 dimensions
- RF2 or RF3 protection options - Choose between RF2 or RF3 protection levels, both offering standalone rifle threat protection
- Multi-curve ergonomic design - Contoured profile follows your body's natural shape for superior comfort
- 99%+ pure alumina mosaic ceramic - Superior ceramic configuration provides excellent multi-hit performance
- Multi-hit capable - Mosaic pattern contains damage within smaller zones, maintaining protection across the rest of the plate
- 100% USA adhesives - Proprietary ARMORFILM™ adhesives with all source ingredients made in the USA
- Made in the USA - Custom-built with high-quality global materials and American craftsmanship

Custom Project & Sizing:
This custom project requires significant custom cutting. Prices will vary according to our workload but will be accurate on the website listing.
Please be SURE that these will fit in your carrier (see image for mm sizes or let us know your size requirements).
These plates are custom-manufactured to match the Russian Granit Size 2 dimensions and multi-curve profile. The sizing and shape are specifically designed to fit carriers made for the Granit armor system. Depending on your final size requirements, there could be a very thin rubber edge on the plate. Exact measurements are customizable - please ask questions or order as image measurements indicate.
Ballistic Performance & Design:
Choose between RF2 or RF3 protection levels based on your threat assessment needs. RF3 configuration is tested to resist multiple rounds of .30-06 M2 AP armor-piercing ammunition. RF2 configuration provides multi-hit capacity for RF2 threats including M193, M855, 7.62 x 51mm M80, and 7.62 x 39mm MSC.
The mosaic ceramic design uses an array of individual 99%+ pure alumina ceramic tiles rather than a single monolithic piece. This approach provides significant advantages in multi-hit scenarios - when a projectile impacts the plate, the damage is contained within the affected tile and immediately surrounding area, while the rest of the plate maintains its full protective capability. An example of the multiple hit resistance can be seen here.
All plates in this listing use the same build layup as the Model 1023. View the Model 1023 NIJ lab report to see the testing methodology and results that apply to this armor construction.
Superior Materials & Construction:
GTS manufactures these plates using a controlled pressure process that ensures consistent bonding and performance. The 99%+ pure alumina ceramic provides superior hardness and fracture resistance compared to lower-purity alternatives. Better and stronger than competitor plates: We use a crack arrestor, UHMWPE backers (no glass) and a ceramic tile array. The competition does not.
The plate construction includes crack arresting layers made from aramid and carbon fiber materials. These layers help control ceramic fragmentation during impacts, reducing ceramic dust and increasing multi-hit capability. All components are bonded using proprietary ARMORFILM™ adhesives where 100% of the adhesive, including all source ingredients, is made in the USA. This is a critical differentiator - most armor manufacturers use imported adhesive materials even when claiming USA production.
The rough polyurea coating on top of 1000 denier nylon provides a durable, textured outer surface that resists wear and provides good grip characteristics. The multi-curve design conforms to your body for improved comfort during extended wear.
Granit System Compatibility:
The Russian Granit armor system is known for its multi-curve ergonomic design that provides excellent comfort and coverage. These custom-built plates are manufactured to match the Granit Size 2 profile, ensuring proper fit in carriers designed for this system. The multi-curve shape reduces standoff distance and improves weight distribution compared to flat or single-curve plates.
Whether you're replacing worn Granit plates, upgrading from steel to ceramic, or building a complete armor package, these custom ceramic plates provide modern ballistic performance in the proven Granit form factor. The standalone design means no soft armor backing is required for ballistic performance, though the plates can be used with soft armor if desired for additional protection or comfort.
Important Notes:
- These ceramic armor plates provide standalone protection at their respective RF2 or RF3 levels
- Plates are custom-built to order - lead times may vary based on production schedule
- Due to the custom nature of these plates, sizing must be verified before ordering - no returns for sizing issues
- May be available in silicon carbide - please contact us to inquire
- Price is per plate (set of 2)
- Plates are new and functional, manufactured to resemble the Russian Granit multi-curve armor profile
