TARIAN is capable of defeating the same threats as existing bar or slat armor, but at significantly reduced weight which allows improvements to the vehicle's protection elsewhere. Designed to withstand the rigors of the battlefield, the TARIAN system is fitted to the UK Army Heavy Equipment Transporters which are currently in use on operations in
The technology behind TARIAN is the result of a close collaboration with the UK Ministry of Defense (MoD). Developed as a modular system, TARIAN can be configured to a wide range of vehicle and static applications.
"Our strong partner relationship with UK MoD and third party contributors has enabled AmSafe to utilize its lightweight technologies developed for aerospace applications and apply them toward an innovative light weight threat protection solution that is an effective replacement for bar and slat armor. This collaborative approach to UK military capability development is a great example of the practical application of the principles outlined in the UK's Defense Industrial Strategy," stated
