 “we do not add armor to the aluminum body of the HMMWV, we replace the body with a new blast resistant one“
North Carolina-based Granite Tactical Vehicles. a small veteran owned business has produced the safest solution to the armored Humvee in the world. After years of analyzing battlefield threats – past, present and future, engineering for a solution with the express purpose of saving lives began. The result: The Small Combat Tactical Vehicle Capsule (SCTVC), a revolutionary innovation designed to protect passengers from the deadly consequences of roadside bombs, mines, and small arms fire. This solution promises to save life and limb, and reduce the fatal burning of our soldiers. By retrofitting the current Humvee with Granite’s combat-crew compartment, the troops on the ground are given much more than just a fighting chance of surviving the threat that has killed and maimed so many to date. The SCTVC is a rapid “deploy-apply” solution that can be rushed to the field faster than any other option available today. It is an amazingly lightweight, super-protected capsule-system that is low maintenance, easy to fit, easy to support and simple to maintain while being sufficiently robust to function in the toughest conditions on earth. |
