MAA applies ballistic and explosive protection to 100% of the passenger cockpit, the fuel tank, and vital areas of the engine compartment. Additional upgrades are applied to other areas of the vehicle to enhance its maneuverability, durability, and safety. Success is defined by a combination of complete ballistic protection and aesthetic appearance.
Curved, bullet-resistant, transparent armor is installed in all glass areas of the car to defeat ballistic threats.
Roof, floor, doors, pillar posts, side panels, kick panels, and firewall are armored using a combination of ballistic steel and lightweight composite materials (e.g., Dyneema, Spectra Shield, Kevlar) in accordance with the ballistic standard level of defeat.
Ballistic steel overlaps are used around all windows in the passenger cockpit to protect against ballistic penetration.
