Service Detail
What this service covers before a vehicle is approved for build.
The goal is to turn a security requirement into a practical specification that can be manufactured, inspected, exported, and used confidently.
Threat-Led Recommendation
Protection level is selected from route exposure, passenger profile, region, and likely attack scenarios.
Vehicle Suitability Review
Weight, suspension, body structure, glass area, drivetrain, and service expectations are reviewed together.
Clear Build Direction
The result is a practical recommendation buyers can use before approving vehicle selection or armoring scope.
Specification Planning
The risk environment shapes the level and optional reinforcement needs.
Road quality, distance, visibility, and exposure are considered.
Occupants and payload determine cabin, glass, and mobility priorities.
The final recommendation balances security, weight, comfort, and budget.
Service Questions
Clear answers before the project starts.
How does SchutzCarr recommend B6, B7, or another level?
The recommendation is based on route exposure, likely threat type, passenger profile, vehicle suitability, destination country, and how the vehicle will be used.
Is the highest protection level always the best option?
No. Higher protection can add weight, cost, and service complexity. The strongest recommendation is the level that matches the mission and the vehicle.
Can this analysis happen before choosing a vehicle?
Yes. In fact, protection analysis is most useful before final vehicle selection because not every vehicle is ideal for every armor level.
Does this page replace the ballistic standards guide?
No. This service applies standards to a real buyer case. The Ballistic Protection Standards page explains the protection language in more detail.
