ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a grille armor system for use on a armored vehicle. The grille armor system adds an applique grille to a grille to increase the protection provided by the grille armor system. The applique grille is designed to add a minimal profile. The applique grille also is designed to allow maximum air flow through the applique grille. In the preferred embodiment, the applique grille is made of 4 mm thick steal bars place 8 mm apart to provide added protection to aluminum S-shaped louvers against high velocity 20 mm fragment simulating projectiles.
