ABSTRACT:
A lightweight armored vehicle and method of making the same is shown. The interior of a standard automobile to be equipped with lightweight armor is first stripped of its interior furnishings. Doors and window frames are rebuilt to rigidly mount a bulletproof transparent window therein. The passenger compartment is bulletproofed by placing lightweight woven polyester glass sheets about it to form a continuous protective layer. Where appropriate the sheets are rigidly formed with a resin-catalyst mixture. Additional bullet resistant strength may be provided by multiple layers of ballistic nylon, aromatic polyamide material, or by similar such materials woven together into composite units.
