Technical Specifications
We use ballistic steel, aramid fibers (Kevlar), polyethylene composites, and multi-layer laminated glass. Material selection depends on the protection level and application. Our engineers optimize the combination to achieve the required protection while minimizing weight.
Bulletproof glass thickness varies by protection level: Level 3 uses 21-25mm glass, Level 5 uses 40-50mm, and Level 7 can exceed 80mm. The glass consists of multiple layers of polycarbonate and glass laminated together to absorb and distribute impact energy.
Weight addition depends on protection level: Level 3 adds 200-350 kg, Level 5 adds 400-600 kg, and Level 7 can add 1000+ kg. To maintain vehicle performance, we upgrade suspension, brakes, and sometimes the engine to compensate for the additional weight.
Yes, the added weight affects acceleration, braking, and fuel economy. However, our suspension and brake upgrades maintain safe handling characteristics. Most clients adapt quickly to the slightly different driving dynamics. Higher protection levels have more noticeable performance impacts.
Yes, armored vehicles maintain functional windows. We install electric motors capable of moving the heavier glass. Some clients opt for gun ports in the windows for defensive use. All glass operations function normally, though slightly slower than standard vehicles.
Standard armoring includes floor protection against fragmentation and some blast protection. Roof protection is included in all levels. For enhanced threat protection, we offer upgraded floor packages with additional blast mitigation for IED and grenade threats.
