Armor Solutions is committed to continuous improvement, and we are constantly meeting
with suppliers of alternate composite and high-
tech armor products.
Even products such as
ceramic, kevlar and
carbon
fibre have been included in our research
and
development efforts to increase personal
protection and personal security. Although we
do not discount the effectiveness and integrity
of these avante-garde materials, we are not yet
absolutely convinced that their current pricing
effectively addresses the needs of the armored
vehicles industry. The weight saving is not
justified by the higher cost of these materials
at this point in time.
We utilize welded steel construction in all our armored vehicles, because of its tested
effectiveness in defeating the various levels of
weaponry and ammunition to increase personal
protection and personal security level. Ballistic
quality steel is selected to meet a variety of
protection levels, and varies in hardness and
thickness. Steel mill certificates are provided
with each shipment to verify quality, and Armor
Solutions randomly tests these deliveries with
high caliber fire to assert product consistency.
