ERV 2010 VR7 Toyota Land Cruiser
The emergence of explosive threats such as Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) has become the number one concern for vehicle survivability. In addition to the to VR7 ballistic certification process, IAG has also conducted comprehensive blast testing under ERV2010 standard for the armored Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Convoy®. The experienced technicians of Beschussamt Mellrichstadt prepared the test which consisted of the following types of explosives threats:
- Side: IED 15kg of TNT detonated at 2 meters distance
- Floor: 1 x DM31 Anti-Tank Fragmentation Land Mine
- Floor: 1 x DM31 Anti-Tank Fragmentation Land Mine
- Roof: 2 x DM51 German Ordinance Hand Grenades
- Roof: 2 x DM51 German Ordinance Hand Grenades
- Roof: 1 x HG85 Swiss Fragmentation Hand Grenade
The test vehicle was inspected after each blast. The IAG Convoy® sustained no deformations or penetrations in the armored passenger cabin, effectively shielding the occupants from the shrapnel and pressures of the various explosives.
