Validation
EXPERTO CREDITE
Trust the one, who approved it
The tests cover – with several thousand shots being fired – the projectile testing of all material pairings used, screw connections, connection points and seams of two components, bends or points where the armour and chassis are connected, from several angles and with projectile speeds which are well beyond the standard speed of the calibre being protected against. In addition to this, numerous explosion attempts of individual assemblies are carried out within an entry frame.
VALIDATION
Extensive validation of the entire vehicle to OEM standard, instead of just testing the materials used. Further long-term testing of durability, fatigue strength and driving dynamics. Therefore, every INVICTO vehicle is branded with our EXPERTO CREDITE badge as a sign of protection excellence.

BULLETPROOF IN A THOUSAND WAYS
Selection of shot test samples: Several thousand shots were being fired on all material pairings used, screw connections, connection points and seams of two components, bends or points where the armour and chassis are connected, from several angles and increasing projectile speeds.
