In order to complement the anti-blast protection system developed into our armored vehicles, we aim to avoid that elements constituting the armoring might turn into additional risk factors by becoming potential projectiles under the pressure of an explosive wave. With this in mind, certain techniques were preferred over others upon integration of armoring components onto the vehicle:
Small, multiple pieces are substituted by large, curved panels, anchored solidly, avoiding weld joints on flex or support areas.
Screws and bolts, which may loosen or unfasten in the event of an explosion, are eliminated.
Rivets, which are likely to detach in the event of an explosion, are reduced to a minimum. |
