I disagree.
It is the plating that is proving the 15 percent bonus, and as there are multiple platings (one for each system) they should be referred to in the plural.

While "All ship systems..." refers to pluralized systems, the "additional plating" does not have to. Additional plating, singular, provides a 15 percent chance to negate damage.
