5.2.1 Armored Body/Protection: The vehicles shall be minimum VPAM BRV 2009 VR6/CEN B6 certified.

5.2.1.1 Construction shall integrate opaque/transparent materials and vehicle structural design in such a manner as to withstand and balance structural loads while affording optimum protection throughout the entire passenger compartment (component design). Vehicle’s design-operating dynamics is a critical factor (original equipment manufacturers, OEM, rated payload capacity), and armoring method/materials shall take into account a variety of factors relating to protection level specified, vehicle balance, structural load and safety.

5.2.1.2 No gaps shall be permitted between opaque armor mating surfaces; opaque to transparent armor transition at front side; rear of passenger or cargo compartment; along all passenger compartment door lines. All opaque armor materials joining on the same plane shall be overlapped.

5.2.1.3 Armor materials shall be incorporated in such a manner as to allow maximum passenger comfort while limiting alterations to the original design.

5.2.1.4 Suspension system, attachment points and related infrastructure components shall be modified to meet after armoring mass of vehicle (a minimum of 25% upgrade as compared to the OEM standard).

5.2.1.5 Brake system shall accommodate after-armoring mass of vehicle and be of such design as to ensure against excessive brake fade and/or failure at high speed (180 kmph) and/or repeated use.

5.2.1.6 Drive shaft and couplings (attachment points) and related infrastructure components shall be reinforced to accommodate increased vibration/stress due to additional weight of the armor mass.

5.2.1.7 Specific vehicle acceleration, braking and cornering at after armoring mass weight on dry surface should allow for positive controls at all times; performance degradation over unarmored comparably equipped make, series, model should not exceed 15% in braking distance.

5.2.1.8 Modifications or customizations done aftermarket or outside the initial manufacturing process will not be accepted. All work must integrate with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) design.
