The special - protection version of the Mercedes - Maybach is the first vehicle to be certified with the highest
ballistic protection level VR10 for civilian vehicles.
Coming from a lineage of building armoured vehicles since 80 years, the 2015 Mercedes S600 Guard is capable of protecting the occupants from VR9 level
of ballistic protection against firearms and explosives.
The Mercedes S600 Guard makes the best car in the world a lot safer providing VR9 levels of
ballistic protection against firearms and explosives without compromising on luxury.
Special steel is inserted into the gaps between the body and the structure and the glass is coated with polycarbonate on the inside, helping the S600 Guard provide not
only ballistic protection but also protection from explosive devices.
Any design was engineered to the very high B6 or VR6 world standard (
ballistic protection when fired on by NATO 7.62 rifle or Kalashnikov AK47; blast protection from DM51 hand grenades, even if two are detonating simultaneously above the roof, and the same grenades detonating 150 mm below the floor).
A few programs are developing strength suits for military purposes, including US Special Operations Command's TALOS, an advanced infantry uniform which would help military personnel achieve superhuman strength with
better ballistic protection.
The Mercedes - Maybach S600 Guard is the first passenger car to be rated for the ultra-rigorous «VR10»
ballistic protection standard (the old Mercedes - Benz S600 Guard managed only the VR9 rating.)
First, the armored Guard - specification Mercedes - Maybach S600 isn't out yet, so if you want
VR9 ballistic protection you'll have to wait about a year until Stuttgart produces it.
This new Mercedes - Benz S600 Guard thus achieves the highest VR9 level
of ballistic protection and meets ERV2010 explosive protection requirements according to German measurements.
Every day they are working on a range of high ‑ profile engineering projects including the Queen Elizabeth class of carriers, the F - 35 Lightning II, unmanned aerial vehicles,
ballistic protection and cyber security.
The Jaguar XJ Sentinel offers a B7 level of
ballistic protection to its occupants and as you imagine it...
