LEVELS OF PROTECTION

Handgun protection
Designed for smaller, random attacks (such as handgun violence or kidnapping attempts).
Lightweight vehicle armor allows these vehicles to resist multiple hits from handguns or submachine guns. Additional security modifications such as underbody grenade protection, protected fuel tanks and dual battery systems may also be incorporated.

Assault rifle and armor piercing protection
Designed for organized attacks (such as guerilla violence, kidnapping, assassination attempt or terrorist attacks).
High-level threats from assault rifles or armor-piercing munitions call for increased levels of ballistic reinforcement, as well as engineering modifications to the brake and suspension systems. On-board computer armor and other security modifications are also available.

Blast protection
Designed for terrorist attacks and military-level threat conditions.
Capable of defeating threats from TNT, pipe bombs, multiple grenades, land mines and other blast threats, these vehicles provide a higher level of blast protection than any previous system.

IE-Defense System™
Designed for terrorist attacks and military-level threat conditions (such as IED attacks followed by bullet fire).
Improvised explosive devices spray shrapnel in many directions, first immobilizing and then leaving a conventionally armored vehicle open to further attack. Only Carat’s IE-Defense System™ delivers integrated armoring systems, including multilayered glass and ultra high hardness steel – providing vehicle protection against the danger of simultaneous attacks from IEDs and high powered weapons.

Carat and Centigon solutions meet and exceed protection requirements against a wide range of threats while meeting CEN, NIJ and STANAG level specifications, complemented by a variety of independent laboratory certification levels. A more detailed threat assessment and armor system design can be developed with your sales associate.
