Ballistic Protection
Ballistic protection around STANAG 4569 Level 2 in baseline demos, with higher levels achievable via armor kits. Ballistic glass windscreens and windows
Mine Protection
Mine protection in the Level 3a / 2b class for blast under wheel and under hull, depending on configuration (similar to the lighter NMS‑L).
Applique Armor
Modular, composite add‑on armor to scale protection for mission and threat level.
