Capabilities

Survivability Solutions for Today's Most Demanding Missions

Advanced armour, vehicle integration and deployable systems, engineered around protection, mobility and mission performance.

Protection is more than armour. It is the ability to keep personnel safe, maintain operational capability, and ensure mission success in increasingly complex threat environments.

DEW Engineering develops and delivers integrated survivability solutions for military vehicles, aircraft, naval platforms, shelters, and critical infrastructure. Combining advanced armour technologies with decades of systems integration expertise, we help defence organizations improve protection against ballistic, blast, fragmentation, mine, and emerging battlefield threats.

DEW provides a complete survivability solution—from threat assessment and engineering design to testing, production, installation, and in-service support. Whether supporting a new platform entering production or extending the life of an existing fleet, our solutions are engineered to balance protection, mobility, and performance.

For more than four decades, armed forces and defence partners have trusted DEW to develop protection systems that perform in severe-duty environments. Our armour and survivability solutions have been integrated on thousands of military platforms, helping protect crews, preserve mission capability, and enhance battlefield readiness.
