Design and Engineering
All Hard Shell protected vehicle products are fully designed and engineered using the latest CAD systems.
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 are achieved 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.

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.
Fuel tanks are protected from all sides with ballistic steel
All 5 wheels (4 driven and 1 spare) are supplied with a FINABEL approved run-flat insert band providing the ability to travel a total distance of 50Km.
In order to ensure the vehicle handles and reacts in a safe a predictable manner all Hard Shell have a complete upgrade to the suspension system. The revised system includes Coil Springs and Shock Absorbers. These components are specially developed after much R & D.
The braking system has been modified to ensure the fully laden vehicle reacts as close as possible to the OEM Vehicles. Hard Shell have a slotted disc design which allows for better braking performance and to dissipate the heat created due to braking.
All original door hinges are replaced with our in house designed and manufactured heavy duty door hinges. The vehicles body structure is reinforced at the door hinge locations. The heavy duty hinges and the body upgrades ensure the vehicle can take the additional weight of the fully armoured doors.
