Volkswagen Caravelle minibus armored to “NATO-Class” in accordance to CEN level B6

 


 

Method of Design:
The armouring system is integrated after the production process of the base vehicle without changing it´s exterior appearance. The safety cell including the rear luggage area is designed in such a way that all gaps between the main body of the car and the doors are overlapped to prevent projectiles or splinters from entering the passenger compartment.


Ballistic Specifications:
There is no international standard for ballistic levels that is accepted by all NATO member countries. We therefore base our “NATO-Class” level of protection on the DIN EN 1522 and DIN EN 1523, prEN 1999 VR6 test procedures which are also known as B6 or BR6 for transparent areas and B6 or FB6 for opaque areas. Under the same conditions we have tested both Kalashnikov rifles with their respective ammunitions.
 

Opaque Areas:
All opaque areas including the roof are protected against the following and all lesser weapons/ammunitions at 90° impact angle in accordance with the above specifications.
· Calibre 7.62 x 39 mm, FJ/PB/SCP, AK 47 (Kalashnikov), OBR-43 PS
· Calibre 5.45 x 39,5 mm AP, FJ/PB/SCP, AKS 74 (Kalashnikov), OBR-74
· Calibre 5.56 x 45 mm, FJ/PB/SC, US rifle M16 A2, SS-109 /M-855
· Calibre 7.62 x 51 mm, FJ/PB/SC, (FN) “FAL” / “LAR” NATO rifle
 

Transparent Areas:
All transparent areas are multi-layer and polycarbonate coated to protect against the following and all lesser weapons/ammunitions at 90° impact angle in accordance with the above specifications.
· Calibre 7.62 x 39 mm, FJ/PB/SCP, AK 47, OBR-43 PS
· Calibre 5.45 x 39,5 mm AP, FJ/PB/SCP, AKS 74, OBR-74
· Calibre 5.56 x 45 mm, FJ/PB/SC, US rifle M16 A2, SS-109 /M-855
· Calibre 7.62 x 51 mm, FJ/PB/SC, “FAL” NATO rifle
 

Floor:
The floor of the vehicle is designed to defeat the following hand grenades
· Two DM 51 (German Norm) per sqm detonated simultaneously
 

Test Reports/Product Liability:
All materials used in the production of the cabin were successfully tested against projectiles and explosives by independent authorities. Test reports can be presented upon request or during a factory visit. The armouring of the vehicle provides protection against a wide range of projectiles and explosives. However, complete protection is not possible for reasons of design and modern military weapon technology.
