Recent conflicts in the Middle East have demonstrated that new generation armored vehicles must comply not only with international ballistic standards but must also be designed and developed to withstand direct or nearby attacks from grenades, anti-personal mines, or improvised explosive devices (IED).

The experience gathered by ORIENT in these aggressive operating scenarios has lead us towards the process of re-engineering our armoring with the purpose of:

• Significantly improving the lateral resistance of the passenger cabin against nearby explosive attack.
• Reducing deformation levels of the vehicle's structure, particularly the floor.
• Assuring an adequate resistance of the armored glass and its anchoring points upon an explosive blast.
• Considerably limiting the risk of detachment or protrusion of elements comprising the armoring within the passenger cabin.
• Battery , ECU unit and brake booster protection.
• Reinforced suspensions and sway / torsion bars
• Run flat inserts
