Ballistex designs and delivers custom target systems with a focus on realism, durability, and cost efficiency—providing high-value training assets without the burden of complex electromechanical components. Each concept begins with a collaborative process in which Ballistex works directly with instructors and end-users to understand operational needs, scenario types, and environmental constraints. Customers may select a Ballistex off-the-shelf target and request modifications to better suit specific requirements, ensuring rapid, tailored solutions.
The Ballistex engineers design and develop silhouettes, reactive zones, or full-form structures using robust, ballistic-tolerant materials—such as reinforced polymers, HDPE, and specialty composites—that reduce splash and secondary fragmentation. Targets are shaped for realistic visual identification, supporting threat recognition and decision-making under pressure. When reactivity is required, mechanical, non-electronic systems provide clear, instant feedback without driving up maintenance or lifecycle costs. Modular, field-serviceable designs allow instructors to replace worn components rather than entire units. The result is a practical yet innovative suite of training products—realistic, reliably reactive, and budget-conscious—built for modern defence, policing, and specialist training environments.
Ballistex engineers design and managed manufacturing of steel target systems that prioritise durability, consistency, and cost efficiency for professional training environments. Customers can choose an off-the-shelf target and request modifications to better match specific training requirements, enabling rapid, tailored solutions without extensive development cycles.
Every target is engineered with close attention to fabrication methods that preserve the ballistic integrity of hardened steel. Certain processes—such as uncontrolled oxy-fuel cutting, high-temperature plasma cutting, excessive heat input from welding, or heavy grinding—can soften the strike surface or create brittle heat-affected zones. These changes reduce impact resistance and shorten service life. Ballistex engineers mitigate these risks through controlled thermal practices, appropriate weld procedures, and post-fabrication hardness checks to ensure each plate maintains uniform performance across its surface.
Designed for repeatable auditory feedback, Ballistex steel targets produce a clear, unmistakable report on successful engagement, allowing instructors and shooters to confirm hits instantly—even at distance or during complex drills. Mechanical, non-electronic reactive options can further enhance the sound signature without introducing unnecessary maintenance burdens.
All targets are modular and field-serviceable, enabling users to replace individual plates or brackets rather than entire assemblies. The result is a dependable, adaptable suite of steel targets engineered for efficient, high-value training across defence, policing, and specialist environments.
Ballistex delivers complete live‑fire integration services, ensuring your ranges, targets, and training environments perform safely and reliably under true ballistic conditions. Our specialists conduct target and range integrations, validating mechanical, electronic, and structural elements for consistent, dependable operation.
We apply advanced ballistic treatments to structures, reinforcing walls, berms, housings, and custom builds with materials engineered to endure sustained fire while preserving long-term safety and durability.
Our comprehensive ammunition matching service ensures your chosen ammunition is compatible with your targets and range design—and when it isn’t, Ballistex can design or tailor ammunition precisely to suit your preferred targetry, protective structures, and training objectives.
Whether you’re enhancing an existing facility or developing a new one, Ballistex brings rigorous engineering, applied ballistic science, and thorough test and evaluation to every project, delivering environments that are safe, optimized, and mission-ready.
Because while others speculate… Ballistex integrates.
