vehicle armor

Protective mobile shell

Vehicle armor is protective material installed on military vehicles, armored cars, or civilian vehicles to resist bullets, explosives, and shrapnel.

It ranges from steel plating on tanks to lightweight composite panels added to civilian SUVs in war zones.

The convoy's vehicle armor saved three lives when the IED detonated.
