Automotive armoring is the process of adding protection to a vehicle to make it more resistant to attack, especially bullets and explosions. Key aspects to consider include the level of protection needed, type of armor (ballistic), armor material (aramid fibers, steel, composite glass), added weight, and cost.
Armor levels according to international standards range from level I to level IV. Level I is the lowest and Level IV is the highest. The level of protection is determined by the ability of the armor to resist bullets of different calibers. The shielding levels are governed by the American standards of the National Institute of Justice and by the European standards FB/BR
The car armor process typically involves installing panels of ballistic material on different parts of the vehicle, such as the doors, roof, side panels, and floor. Laminated glass and impact-absorbing window materials can also be added. The process varies depending on the level of protection desired and the type of vehicle.
The maximum level of armor for cars is NIJ IV level, according to the regulations of the US National Institute of Justice. This implies that the vehicle is protected against projectiles from high-powered rifles and grenade explosions. However, level 4 is very expensive and is not common in civilian vehicles.
