[2] For growth, the company then expanded into producing larger protective panels for ground vehicles used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
[2] Expansion continued in the late 1990s and in addition to opening a Prototype Department, the company began to assemble its armour solutions in-house, this activity having previously been contracted out.
The future lucrative American market was also first penetrated in the late 1990s, with a protection solution for HMMWV ambulance variants being supplied to AM General.
[2][7] Plasan provided its first solutions for air platforms in 1998, supplying armor to Singapore for C-130 aircraft and Super Puma helicopters.
With their first full vehicle body design, Plasan shipped protection kits to Greece for weld-free assembly on the ELVO line and then fitting onto chassis supplied by AM General.
[2] The Kitted Hull concept involves the bolting and bonding of steel, composite and other panels[2] to an existing chassis.
At the peak of MaxxPro production Plasan was also actively involved in the first stage of the US’ Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program.
In total, 8722 M-ATVs were delivered to US armed forces, and at the peak of production Plasan was producing over 1000 Kitted Hulls per month.
[2][18][19][20] In 2012 the company made its first foray into the naval section by participating in a tender initiated by BAE Systems of the UK for what would develop to be the Type 26 Frigate.
In 2018 Plasan commenced a cooperation with Hanwha of South Korea that includes protection solutions for the Redback IFV and its Elbit-supplied turret, and the Huntsman AS9 155 mm self-propelled gun (SPG).
[21] In 2021 the company unveiled the All-Terrain electric Mission Module (ATeMM), this a diversification from protection and into manoeuvring robotics.
The evolving SandCat range are a light protected vehicle based on the chassis and automotives of a Ford F550, this mated to a Plasan Kitted Hull solution.
Survivability solutions (sea): In 2012 Plasan participated in a ship armouring tender issued by BAE Systems in the UK.
Plasan was selected to supply composite armor for the first batch of the Royal Navy's Type 26 frigates, the City-class.
The SandCat essentially mates a Plasan-designed Kitted Hull concept body with a Ford F-550 chassis and automotives, the latter uprated and modified by Plasan.
The M-LPV retains the overall dimensions of the SandCat, but features a chassis less monocoque hull with mine blast protection.
The Storm Rider retains many of the Ford F-550 components and Plasan body panels used in the fourth generation SandCat, but overall is a larger and heavier design (11,500 kg GVW) that features full-time all-wheel drive and a fully independent suspension set-up.
A laboratory was first established in 1989, but this renovated and extended in 2009, and now occupies 1000m² with two indoor firing tunnels that can test rounds between 5.56 and 30 mm.
In 2007, Plasan acquired France-based AMEFO, a manufacturer of high hardness steel hulls and metal equipment for the automotive and defence industries.
[2] In May 2017, Plasan Sasa and its CEO, Dani Ziv, received the National Defense Industrial Association's (NDIA) Red Ball Express award, the first non-US organization to do so.
The list is arbitrarily alphabetical, and where available with brevity includes outline details of protection type, timeline, quantity delivered, and any other relative information.
