SPARTAN - Armored Personnel Carrier 4õ4, based on the Ford F550.

OEM body replaced with fully re-designed and chassis-mounted body by Streit design and development.

Five sided armoring of passenger compartment to provide protection against 7.62x51, M80 NATO Ball ammunition and tested to meet NIJ-STD-0108.01 Level III.

Floor is fitted with blast protection to protect occupants against fragmentation from detonation of 2 DM-51 German ordnance hand grenades or equivalent light anti-personnel mines.

Vehicle body is fully encapsulated to provide armor protection to occupants at all points. Armor consists of all welded ballistic grade steel construction.

Specific Streit Manufacturing materials and installation techniques are used which permit a significant reduction in cost to the client while maintaining structural integrity and ballistic resistance level, as well as optimizing center of gravity to provide extremely good maneuverability for a vehicle of this nature.

The interior frame, constructed of ballistic grade steel, provides overlap and backup protection for the large-surface principal impact areas such as the doors and windows. It also reinforces the structural integrity of the support pillars and other areas that are crucial to maintaining vehicle safety in any circumstance, including rollover and ramming situations.

Vehicle armoring has been constructed in such a way as to ensure that a projectile following a linear or angled path shall not enter the vehicle’s interior without contacting the armor material. In addition to this, the possibility of a projectile entering the vehicle’s interior due to a ricochet from the armor shall also be minimized.
