INNOVATION IN ADVANCED MATERIALS ENGINEERING
At GC we design, develop, and deliver advanced material technologies that meet the evolving demands of defence. From ballistic shields trusted by elite tactical teams to cutting-edge composites for armoured vehicles, our solutions are engineered for performance without compromise.
Whether you’re ready to deploy now or looking to co-develop next-generation defence materials, we are your partner in protection and innovation.
GC RF2 Ballistic Shield
Ultralight. High-performance, RF2 rated, multi-hit protection that stops 5.56x45mm M855 rounds and more—tested and trusted in high-risk environments.
Vehicle Armour Solutions
Built for blast and ballistic STANAG 4569 Level 1–3. Lighter hulls. Stronger panels. Superior survivability.
Modular Defence Applications
Composite panels and adaptive configurations for UAVs, unmanned ground systems, deployable barriers, and more.
Extreme Cold Weather Combat
Innovative, insulative, and durable materials, tailored to excel in extreme cold weather environment
Bringing the future in ballistic protection to you today, our patented GC Shield® core technology represents a quantum leap forward in lightweight, high-performance ballistic protection. We have developed the technology from ultralight ballistic shields for use by law enforcement to vehicle armour protecting up to STANAG Level 3 for blast and ballistic.
GC Shield technology has been developed to withstand key battlefield blast and ballistic threats; anti-tank mines and armour-piercing rounds at NATO STANAG 4569/AEP-55 Ballistic Levels 1, 2 & 3 – delivering greater protection at a lighter weight than existing vehicle armours.
Working with DEVCOM Soldier Center, Natick MA and UMass Lowell we are developing materials for the next generation of U.S. military footwear. The goal is to produce innovative, insulative, and durable materials, tailored to excel in extreme cold weather environments.
Addressing the significant scientific obstacle of enhancing thermal capabilities of footwear in severe conditions, particularly in combating the challenges posed by ineffective insulative materials for extremely cold weather military footwear, we have further developed the characterization and development of our graphene and aerogel composite designs.
Bringing tomorrow’s shield to you today, GC Shields represent a quantum leap forward in lightweight, high-performance ballistic shields and offer users a level of protection and mobility that was previously unattainable.
Enhanced protection to an RF2 level including the ability to stop the 5.56 x 45 mm M855 round, the RF2 Shield is much lighter than other competitors, ensuring greater mobility whilst also providing assurance and peace of mind against special threats.
