You cannot overstate the value of personal security, and it is more difficult to obtain with notoriety. Whether you are a business executive, high-ranking public servant, or other individual with high net-worth, security becomes an essential part of a comprehensive security plan. Armored vehicles allow you to rest easily during travel, so you can focus your mind on the tasks that are relevant to your life.
The risks involved in travel may be overlooked by individuals who haven’t observed threats. It is natural to let your guard down during transport, and armored vehicles allow passengers to continue to relax safely. Targeted threats wait for the opportunity to take advantage of lax security measures, and armored vehicles provide continuous protection for people who have to expose themselves to the vulnerability of traveling on public streets and highways. When you must leave a secured area, your transport vehicle must serve as an extension of that fortification.
Protection Against Modern Threats
Historically, armored vehicles have served as protection for world leaders, celebrities, and military officials. They were easily recognizable by their size or bulky armor. Today’s armored vehicles have increased protection and are less conspicuous. The vehicles blend in with traffic, which increases security while decreasing attention. It also increases the comfort of passengers who aren’t constantly reminded of security risks by traveling conditions that are less luxurious.
Today’s armored vehicles have multiple levels of ballistic protection available, so you can select the protection that fits the threat.. From reinforcing doors to armoring fuel tanks, armored vehicles ensure that threats are addressed without unnecessary hindrance. Passengers ride in comfort and luxury without an increase to safety risks.
The modern threat facing people who need armored vehicles has changed over the decades. Weapons are increasingly accessible and more powerful, and would-be assailants have more access to information about a person’s whereabouts through the internet and tracking devices.
The challenge of personal security is significant, and people who need protection must take a multi-faceted approach to security. This creates an increased need for armored vehicles but also an increased need for convenience, technology, and customization.
Tiered Protection by David Shield Security
At David Shield Security, we offer two levels protection in our armored vehicles, so clients can optimize their defense based on their unique needs. Certain people and situations warrant different levels of armor and attentiveness. The two levels or protection we offer are:
- Level B4 protection: Armor protects against piercing from ammunition sizes ranging from 9mm to 357 magnum.
- Level B6 protection: Armor protects against piercing from ammunition sizes up to M80 ball rounds, which shooters use in multiple types of machine guns and sniper rifles.
We also modify vehicles to absorb mild blasts and protect passengers from the injuries that come from the shockwave and shrapnel of explosions. Armored fuel tanks and suspension system enhancements ensure that armored vehicles can escape volatile situations and allow the passenger to reach a safe location. When you travel in armored vehicles, the ability to withstand gunfire is as essential as the ability to successfully leave the area.
At David Shield Security, we aspire to offer the highest protection level for all our esteemed clients. Through careful custom engineering of our vehicles, we are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our clients, their loved ones, and businesses, whichever part of the world they may be.
