2. Vehicle Armor Specifications
* Complete 360 degree passenger compartment armoring.
* Roof, sides, rear and engine firewall to provide full protection against high powered rifles with Ballistic protection of CEN B6+ / NIJ III. AK 47 / AR 7.62 x 39, 5.56 x 45, 7.62 x 51, M 193, M80 Ball at zero degree obliquity angles.
* Vehicle floor provides full blast protection from simultaneous detonation and fragmentation of 2 DM 51 hand grenades or equivalent.
* Vehicle’s armor plates are stitch-welded using high-intensity MIG welders. The above process ensures the structural integrity is uncompromised by thermal and chemical variations of the material.
* Vehicle armoring constructed in such a way as to ensure that a projectile following a linear or angled path shall not enter the vehicle’s interior without contacting the armor material. In addition to this, the possibility of a projectile entering the vehicle’s interior due to a ricochet from the armor shall also be minimized.
3. Glass
* A combination of glass, polycarbonate and Mylar are bonded together using the latest technology, producing one of the finest transparent armors available while incorporating the following qualities:
* Anti-spall shield protecting against shattering glass
* Multiple impact protection
* Finest optical quality, Minimal distortion
* No de-lamination, no discoloration from UV rays
4. Doors
* Armor overlap at all doors to prevent penetration through door posts and pillars.
* Door pillars reinforced to accommodate the additional weight of the armored door.
* Heavy Duty door hinges, designed and manufactured for extended longevity and easy maintenance
* Heavy Duty door travel retainers
5. Interior
* All original OEM interior panels and trim will be resized or modified and re-installed wherever possible to obtain as close to an original look as possible
* The cargo area of the vehicle is protected by a swing door with view glass, without disrupting the original manufacturer’s appearance.
6. Electrical
* All electrical equipment standard to this vehicle shall be tested and modified as necessary to protect against the armoring process.
* Any additional (optional) electric equipment installed on the vehicle shall be individually fused; all wires are loomed and clearly marked, as required by vehicle safety standards.
Ballistic Chart
* The protective strength of a glazed shielding is rated based on the type of munitions, or threat level, it is capable of withstanding. There are 7 main standard threat levels: BR1-BR7 (also written as B1-B6), each corresponding to a different type of small arms fire.
* To be given a particular rating, the ballistic material must stop the bullet for the specified number of strikes, with multiple strikes placed within 120mm of each other.
* The classification levels are numbered in order of increasing protective strength. Thus any sample complying with the requirements of one class also complies with the requirements of previous classes. The precise test requirements and bullet types used are as follows
