There is provided a laminated hybrid metallized polymer film for erosion protection of a composite structure. The laminated hybrid metallized polymer film includes a metal foil layer, a laminating adhesive layer underlying the metal foil layer, and a polymer film layer underlying the laminating adhesive layer. The polymer film layer is laminated to the metal foil layer with the laminating adhesive layer coupled between the metal foil layer and the polymer film layer. The laminated hybrid metallized polymer film further includes an adhesive layer underlying the polymer film layer. The adhesive layer adheres the polymer film layer to a substrate surface of the composite structure. The metal foil layer, the laminating adhesive layer, the polymer film layer, and the adhesive layer form the laminated hybrid metallized polymer film for application over and to the substrate surface of the composite structure.
