Armored Trucks - professional vehicles for the security professionals
The Salerno Tactical Vehicles ™ are ideal e.g. for a SWAT truck to transport heavily-armed Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team
members. These vehicles can also be used to transport heavy-duty equipment (for example, rubber bullet guns, special weapons, and
battering rams).
The design of the Salerno™ Tactical Vehicles was based on creating the maximum distance and protection between the seat of a mine
explosion and the cabin. The front wheel stations are located away from the crew cabin and a “V” shape-armoring cell protects the rear
wheels, so that if a wheel detonates a mine, the explosion is vented outwards, thus minimizing the damage to the crew cabin. The front
fenders and the hood are attached to the chassis to further reduce the shock transmitted to the cabin.

A number of features have also been incorporated into the design to protect the cabin from an explosion of an underbelly mine. The ground
clearance has been maximized to allow maximum dissipation of the blast. The location of heavy components under the cabin floor has been
avoided because they can be projected through the cabin floor by a mine blast. The lower part of the vehicle has a layered sandwich structure
that collapses on detonation of a mine under the belly, thus absorbing a high percentage of the energy.
The chassis has high resistance steel frame with longitudinal reinforcements and tubular cross elements. Likewise, the walls have a tubular
framing system with armor applied to the interior and outside of the frame with blast resistant materials within.
The internal features of the cabin further reduce residual and secondary mine explosion effects on the crew. There are available adjustable
anti-mine front and rear seats. The seats are suspended and not fixed directly to the floor, which avoids direct transmission of the shockwave
to the crew.

The Salerno™ vehicles are armored to STANAG 4569 level 3 and meets European CEN B7 standard. Protection includes blast protection
against side load IEDs. Payload after armoring is in excess of 4,000 lbs (2000 kg).
The design concept of the Salerno™ Tactical Vehicles are based on replacing lightweight civilian SUV's with a similarly ergonomically
designed vehicle on a truck chassis. It provides higher ballistic and blast protection for the crew and at the same time, achieves a far higher
payload capacity.

Opaque and transparent Armor Level
Meets STANAG 4569 Level 3. The crew compartment's
opaque armor was tested to defeat three hits, each one being
fired on the apex of a 6.5cm equilateral triangle. The weapon
