This vehicle has been hit by an IED and high power rifle fire and has protected its occupants
A close up of the glass after taking the hits shows the effectiveness of the transparent armor and the overlaps. This vehicle was armored to Level B6 by International Armoring Corporation of Ogden, Utah.
In response to the current and growing demand for fully armored vehicles, International Armoring Corporation has announced the opening of its third facility in Ogden, Utah which is now dedicated only to the armoring of GM body styles such as Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and Ford’s Expedition and Excursion SUV models.
This assembly facility has been designed along the lines of the ‘assembly line’ principal, which permits the continual flow of the vehicle in the armoring stages to completion in about a quarter of the time that it used to take under conventional system of armoring.
As a result, this has enabled us to offer armored vehicles in an unheard of lead time of 20 days from receipt of order! This has pleased many contractors who are supplying these vehicles to their clients in the areas of severe threat situations, and currently of course this has meant the Iraq and Afghanistan areas.
We have established a standardadized armoring package, usually in the CEN B6 (UL Level 5) for high power high velocity rifles such as the 7.62x51, 5.56, .223, etc. which is the desired ballistic protection level most required in the the area. We can and will still accept special requirements which can be built in to a customer’s vehicle, however, this can extend the lead time accordingly. The essential premise here is to be able to provide a quality built armored vehiclein as little time as possible and get it into service where it is need to protect the lives of those exposed to these threats.
