  quality.

Lightweight Transparent Bullet Resistant Glass 
Only the top Quality ballistic glass used with
custom features included to maintain ballistic
protection at higher temperature.
Ballistic Steel
Only Pre-certified ballistic grade steel is used
which is fully traceable back to factory
production lots.

Floor Protection

• Flexible multi-layered ballistic Kevlar is
  sealed to the entire floor, roof and body of the
  vehicle. Designed to absorb bomb and ballistic
  fragmentation.

Run Flat Tyre System
Run flat device in all tyres. These tyres
continue to run even after a tyre is punctured or
burst Up to 60 miles at 60mph after a bullet hit.
Suspension, Shocks and Brakes
Front shocks replaced with custom made coil over
shocks fully tested in off road conditions.
Smoothes out ride over all terrain and provides
stability to offset increased load due to
armouring. Rear Brake shoes replaced with high
performance material for improved braking and
increased safety.
Dual Ram Bumpers
Concealed behind both the front and the rear
bumpers, this option allows each vehicle to ram
their way out of a dangerous situation without
causing in- operable damage.

Design and Engineering
All Hard Shell protected vehicle products are
fully designed and engineered using the latest
CAD systems.
7
All CAD data is generated and critical section
data is generated to ensure no ballistic leaks
are apparent, the optimum fitting and attachment
strategy has been adopted and that critical
materials and system interfaces areachieved with
zero ballistic leak.CAD data also generates data
for production tooling, laser profiles, work
instructions and process data sheets.This
ensures all vehicles are produced to a consistent
process and provides full traceability.Edges and
seams are designed to feature armoured overlap
system to prevent ballistic, and spall
penetration.Bullet resistant glass with
polycarbonate anti spall liner film is used at
all glazed areas.
Manufacturing
All Hard Shell protected vehicles are
manufactured in strict compliance to our Quality
Standard and follows strict process controls to
ensure high product quality, materials
traceability and product repeatability. The Hard
Shell resembles a normal civilian vehicle. It is
low profile meaning that the vehicle is nearly
visually identical to a standard vehicle.
Therefore unwanted attention while traveling is
avoided.

  ballistic steel

Run Flat Inserts

slotted disc design which allows for better
braking performance and to dissipate the heat
created due to braking.
