Dedicated to Asset Integrity
World Wide.

We have evolved from our respected multi decade origins in Defence-grade packaging and materials engineering to being a solutions and systems company — designing, creating, and ultimately protecting valuable equipment. Our foundation is built on decades of experience, our solid past enables us to build state of the art solutions for an ever evolving customer need.

Protection.Systems integrates technology with custom industrial design, working closely with the client to produce the highest level of safety for sensitive and valuable assets across Defence industries and beyond. We work with the following partners;

  • Form Cut Australia, precision material solutions.

  • Clip-Lok SimPak, modular, reusable protective systems.

  • Aus Security Products, secure access and deterrence.

  • Intercept Australia, performance into the harshest environments.

  • Protec Australia, temporary protection

Protection.Systems is not just about what we build, but why we build it, ultimately to protect and save lives.

Projects

We solve protection challenges end-to-end: from fragile Defence electronics through to high-stress transport scenarios. Each project captures our ability to engineer packaging and systems that protect against impact, environmental exposure, vibration, and mishandling throughout global supply chains. Real results, documented to standards, delivered reliably.

Design is a process of discovery and definition, with a focus on finding the ultimate solution for the protection need.

We leverage decades of Defence-industry experience, expert knowledge in material science, structural analysis and regulatory compliance to design systems that meet the criteria, no matter how extreme or challenging.

Global military standards that we adhere to:

  • DEF(AUST)1000C Australia

  • MIL-STD-2073 United States

  • DEF STAN 81-41 / JSP 886 United Kingdom

  • STANAG 4280 NATO

Testing, compliance and validation:

  • STA / ASTM / ISO
    commercial packaging validation backbone

  • MIL-STD / DEF STAN / STANAG
    military overlays that specify harsher environments, lifecycle, and re-use

CREATE

Creation is where our final designs are used to create the protection product. Our manufacturing partner is Australian based, however the build / Create process can be accommodated off shore with our team project managing to ensure continuity and quality is maintained.

Protecting Defence lives by mitigating blast impact on lower limbs.

Case Study Description:

Following the rapid growth of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attacks experienced in active deployment, our expertise was sought by Thales Australia. Form Cut Australia was asked to determine key technical developments in the design and manufacture of impact absorbing / blast mitigating solutions to be incorporated in Protected Mobility Vehicles as part of the PMV Update rapidly requested by the Australian Defence Force (ADF).  

Aim:

The aim was to minimise the risk and possibility of injury and reduce the severity of injury in this type of attack. In particular, our work focused on reducing lower limb fractures, maximising the ability for vehicle occupants to exit a damaged vehicle.

Outcome:

Form Cut collaborated with Thales Design Engineers to determine suitable materials and manufacturing processes. Over a two year period, this work led to the prototyping and then production of 101 Bushmaster Occupant Protection assemblies that were deployed and wereinstalled in Afghanistan.

The first deployed vehicles with the PMV Update re-entered service in early September 2011. On the 23rd of September three soldiers were in a Bushmaster that was directly attacked by an IED. The occupants were quickly evacuated from their vehicle and after an initial medical inspection all three personel were released and able to return to limited duties. 

Participation in this project was a rewarding and satisfying experience for everyone involved. 

PROTECT

Protection is core to our existence. We make with the anticipation of extremes - blast damage, shock, moisture, intrusion and varying temperatures. Whether in transport, storage, or field use our protection systems aim to preserve both form and function of the assets entrusted to us.

PROTECTION.SYSTEMS aids in the specification of protection materials manufactured by our partners:

  • Form Cut Australia

  • CLIP-LOK Australia

  • AUS Security Products

  • Intercept Australia

  • PROTEC Australia

Partnerships

We believe strong protection systems are built through strong partnerships. Protection.Systems works closely with specialist partners to offer the high level expertise across material suppliers, modular system innovators and security hardware providers.

FORM CUT
AUSTRALIA

is the source of our foundational capability. Form Cut Australia brings precision material shaping and cutting to the protection equation. It provides the components and substrate that other protection systems depend on, with exact tolerances, quality finishes, and consistency. Form Cut is the backbone behind protective designs—ensuring every piece fits, seals, and supports as intended.

CLIP-LOK SimPak
AUSTRALIA

is our modular protection packaging solution designed for repeatable, secure, and efficient deployment. It gives clients systems that lock together, resist handling stresses, and streamline packaging processes without sacrificing protection. Ideal for defence gear, sensitive equipment, or high-volume logistics where integrity and reliability are non-negotiable.

AUS SECURITY
PRODUCTS

adds the security dimension to our protection platform: locks, tamper-resistant fittings, secure enclosures, and sealing systems. Protection is more than physical barrier—it’s about ensuring authorised access only, maintaining integrity through transit, and giving clients confidence that assets are not just handled safely, but also securely.

INTERCEPT
AUSTRALIA

provides high-performance protective systems tested in real world extremes. When environments are harsh, stakes are high, or conditions unpredictable, Intercept-engineered solutions hold up. Shock, vibration, climate—they’re challenged, but the systems endure. Intercept is our guarantee: protection you can depend on, under pressure.
