FAQ

Q 1. How long have you been manufacturing armored vehicles and how many vehicles have you built over the years?
A. IAG has been developing and manufacturing armored vehicles for 14 years, and we have built over 1,000 service-proven armored vehicles during that time.

Q 2. Do you manufacture bullet proof cars?
A. The most common misperception about armored cars is that they are bullet proof. That’s incorrect. No armored car can be categorized as bullet proof, since all ballistic material available provides protection up to a particular degree as specified by various recognized international ballistic standard.


Q 3. Can you provide us with a bomb/IED proof vehicle?
A. No vehicle can be made bomb/IED proof – not even a tank. Usually for low profile armored vehicles, the blast protection offered is described in terms of number of hand grenades or some particular small road side bombs. For APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) vehicles it is usually described in terms of quantity (in Kilograms etc) of TNT or any equivalent explosive charge.

Q 4. Do you have any industry qualifications or certifications?
A. IAG has obtained the BSI ISO 9001:2000 certification for Quality Management.  Additionally, all ballistic materials (both steel and glass) utilized by IAG as well as the completed armored vehicles all comes with separate certifications.

Q 5. How do you ensure that the quality level of your vehicles remains consistent?
A. IAG has invested in a multitude of testing equipment to ensure that all the components used meet our stringent quality standards.

Q 6. What is the B6 level?
A. B6 level is a level of protection specified in the EN ballistic standard (European Normalization).  It specifies that the material can withstand multiple 7.62x51mm assault rifle rounds.

Q 7. Can you provide us a vehicle in B6+?
A.
B6+ is not a internationally recognized ballistic standard.  IAG sometimes refers to B6+ level of protection to emphasize that the B6+ vehicle is equipped with 6.5mm ballistic steel instead of the 6mm used on B6 vehicles, thus offering superior protection.


Q 8. What is the difference between B6 and B7?

A. According to the EN ballistic standards, materials rated at the B6 and B7 level can both defeat multiple 7.62x51mm rifle rounds.  However, there are differences in the materials used in the bullet, meaning that B7 level armoring can protect against 7.62x51mm rounds that are designed to penetrate armor whereas B6 level armoring cannot.

Q 9. Do we need to provide you with the base vehicle or can you buy it for us and armor it?
A. IAG does both. If we have stock of vehicles that you desire we can provide you the vehicles right away. However, if we don’t have stock either we or the client can procure the base vehicle. Our sole objective is to provide the client with the best possible solution.

Q 10. Can you provide the armored vehicle(s) anywhere in the world?
