Infiniti QX56 2009 B6 Armored Car


Armormax® is the ultimate in light weight ballistic armoring material. It was developed and is owned by International Armoring Corporation. Armormax® is the lightest opaque armor in the industry; it reduces the added weight on a vehicle by 60%, making it the lightest weight armoring system in the world. Armormax® is composed of a combination of a variety of synthetic fibers. The Armomax® composite technology is ten times stronger than ballistic steel – pound for pound!

Transparent Armor (Glass):


Referred to as Lightweight Transparent Armor or LTA®, LTA® is the material used by International Armoring Corporation for armoring the glass in all its vehicles. LTA® glass provides a superior level of protection against the toughest security concerns, from random acts of street violence to Head of State protection. LTA® is International Armoring Corporation’s ballistic glass of choice. The replacement is done by matching the vehicle’s original curved glass with the curved LTA® glass, providing maximum security, superior optics, a light weight replacement and a longer service life.

The LTA® Glass is composites of glass and polycarbonate substrates laminated with inter layers. This is done to absorb the energy from various ballistic threats. The multi-layer glass is used to prevent spalling upon ballistic impact. To learn more about the protection capabilities of the LTA® glass please refer to the Protection Levels page for clarification.

LTA® Glass is:

  • Distortion Free
  • Designed to look like conventional glass
  • Lighter and thinner than all-glass laminates or air-gap designs
  • Unaffected by temperature fluctuations
  • Offers dependable protection against a variety of lethal weapons

Elitus Overlap System:


International Armoring Corporation’s commitment to continuous research and development assures clients the most technologically advanced armored passenger vehicles available. One example of such is International Armoring Corporation’s Elitus® Overlap System. This newly molded armoring process called Elitus® demonstrates IAC’s attention to detail and understanding that complete safety lies in the details.

Run Flat Tires:


IAC can replace all existing tires in an armored vehicle with Run Flat tires. The Run Flat Tire System allows the vehicle to travel up to 60 miles at 60 mph (depending on road conditions) on deflated tires. This system is composed of a ballistic rubberized plastic “roller” ring that is designed, molded and installed inside each tire around the rim. Once the tires are deflated, the solid rubber ring acts as a backup tire, becoming an airless spare within the tire.

Suspension:


The suspension of the vehicle, along with shocks and brakes must be modified when a vehicle is armored. International Armoring Corporation recommends its clients begin the armoring process with a heavier duty vehicle. This will help with the modification process of upgrading the suspension, shocks and brakes later on. The modification is done with a standard package that may vary depending on the needs of the client.

Bumpers:


Dual Ram Bumpers can be added to a client’s armored vehicle. They are concealed behind both the front and the rear bumpers. This option allows each vehicle to ram its way out of a dangerous situation without causing inoperable damage to the armored vehicle. In addition, this modification prohibits corners of the vehicle from being rammed into the tires, thus making the armored vehicle inoperable.

Optima Bullet Resistant Battery:


An important feature to be added into any armored vehicle, would be the replacement of the battery with an Anti-Ballistic Battery. International Armoring Corporation replaces original batteries with a dry-cell Optima® battery. This replacement eliminates the ever present threat of an exploding acid based battery causing serious damage to the vehicle’s engine and making it inoperable. This is a standard feature in all armoring packages.

Fuel Tank and Floor Protection:


International Armoring Corporation’s dedication to bring tomorrow’s technology to today’s vehicles is evident in the armoring process. An example of such is the attention to detail. To ensure the safest vehicles, IAC protects the floor of the vehicle with a multi-layered ballistic nylon armor that is used to seal the entire floor of the vehicle. It is designed to absorb bomb fragmentation; the armor is concealed under the carpet and seats of the vehicle, maintaining the original appearance of the vehicle. Armor is also placed surrounding the fuel tank of each vehicle to create an anti-explosive fuel tank.

3rd Hinge Door Support:


3rd Hinge Door support is added to level B7 armored vehicles and whenever possible. A complete structure modification is done to support the weight added by the armor material. This includes reinforcement of pillar posts and hinges. Along with door support, the vehicle is modified with high pressure heavy duty shocks, and an upgraded suspension. All modification is done to help the armored vehicle handle and look as originally possible.
