Specifications of Armor & Vehicle Alterations

• Five sided armoring of passenger cabin to give maximum protection against 7.62 x 51mm & 5.56 x 45mm in accordance with EN 1522 & EN 1063 European level B6 – NIJ Level III & BRV1999
• A, B, C & D pillars are protected with armor, as are front fenders, (wings) rear wheel arches & firewall. This adds structural rigidity to the overall vehicle, floor is fitted with seven multi layer fragmentation blanket to protect against simultaneous detonation of 2xDM51 splinter hand grenades, roof will protect against 45 degree angle shots.
• All passenger doors are fitted with overlap system and antispall guard which provides maximum strength retention to prevent penetration through door posts & pillars.
• The glass is installed using ballistic grade steel frame for added protection which gives extra support to help prevent cracks & fractures. This also provides added protection for these potentially weak areas.

Transparent Armor

• Flat glass, PVB/polycarbonate laminate 6.2kgs./sq.ft(13.7lbs/sq.ft) – Thickness is 39mm (Replaces all OEM glass).
• Glass is manufactured under strictly controlled conditions, using only the highest grade materials.
• Anti-Spall shield protects against glass splinters, chemical attacks. Autoclave temperature allows the polycarbonate to lose its memory to prevent delaminating & internal stress. The glass also provides multi hit protection.
