What armor level do I need?

Choosing the right armor level is not merely an aesthetic or budget-driven decision. It is a strategic choice based on risk analysis, threat types, operational exposure, and user profile.

At Ballistic Technology—with over 33 years of experience in automotive armoring and more than 6,000 units intervened—our technical recommendation always stems from a clear premise:

You don’t choose the highest armor level. You choose the right armor level.

What does “armor level” mean?

The armor level determines the vehicle's capacity to resist impacts from different firearm calibers, in compliance with international standards such as:

• NIJ 0108.01

• EN 1063

In automotive armored glass, the most commonly used CEN levels are:
