Protection
Armor
The Eagle V 4x4 incorporates a double V-shaped hull, specifically designed to deflect mine blasts away from the vehicle structure and crew compartment. The vehicle provides STANAG 4569 ballistic and mine protection, with baseline Level 1 protection against 7.62 mm small-arms fire. The interior features blast-absorbing seats and an energy-absorbing seating system to maximize crew survivability.
Applique Armor
Enhanced armor kits are available that upgrade protection to Level 3 STANAG 4569, enabling the vehicle to withstand 7.62-millimeter armor-piercing ammunition and mine explosions of up to 10 kilograms of TNT under the wheels and floor. Optional modular armor kits made of steel and composite materials can further enhance protection, and specialized RPG mitigation systems are available for additional survivability against shaped-charge anti-tank weapons.
