Armored vehicles for private use

Blinded cars

Why buy an armored vehicle?
To gain peace of mind, even more than bombs or guns, terrorists use fear and intimidation as their greatest weapons.
To be in control by protecting your personal vehicle, we can take the control away from the terrorist and place it back in your hands.
To protect yourself, even a bulletproof vest and a personal bodyguard couldn't offer you the level of protection that one of our custom armored vehicles can.
To protect your loved ones, if you are a possible target for an attack, those closest to you could also be at risk.
To be both safe and stylish, high-hardened steel, reinforced fiberglass, ballistic nylon, and other advanced materials are used to create the unseen protection of your custom armored vehicle.

How can I determine what level of armoring do I need?
Armor levels are determined by each individual’s perceived threat and location of the vehicles use.  One “size” (i.e. Level or Package) does not fit all security threats.  Contact an OPM Security professional to help you determine the best armoring level and package.

What parts of a vehicle get armored?
The purpose of armoring a car is to protect the passengers. Towards that end, armor engineers focus on the occupants first by creating a cocoon of protection by enveloping the passenger cabin. Armoring companies armors the entire passenger compartment; the glass, floors, pillar posts, roofs, doors - thus providing a maximum coverage of protection for vehicle passengers.  

How long will it take to armor my vehicle?
Our delivery times currently vary from 30 to 60 working days on the majority of vehicle models.

Can OPM Security supply the base vehicle to be armored?

How far will run flat tires carry me if they are shot out?
Run-flat tires will carry you, safely, for 80 kilometers at 100 kilometers an hour, depending on road conditions. This is generally much more adequate than is required to escape or leave a dangerous situation to a “safe zone”.

Can any vehicle be armored?
Yes.  Some vehicles, however, are more conducive to be armored than others.  Again, please contact the experts at OPM Security to discuss your specific needs.

What do the levels of protection indicate?
OPM Security adheres to the European armoring standards (referred from Standards EN 1063).
Numerous international organizations have developed armoring standards defeat levels and testing procedures. In the USA for instance, the standards were developed by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), a procurement arm of the US government. In Europe the European Union developed their standard, called CEN, which is the B-Level standard. Other countries too have developed their own standards.  OPM Security generally adheres to the European Union’s standard because it is more specific to the requirements of armored passenger vehicles.
