From Factory to the Field: Our Rigorous Process of Armored Vehicle Testing

At Victory Armoring Solutions Global (VASG), safety is not just our goal—it’s a standard backed by science, engineering and relentless armored vehicle testing. Every high-performance security vehicle that leaves our facility is the result of a meticulous and disciplined process designed to guarantee the highest levels of protection, performance and reliability in the most demanding environments. From material selection to real-world understanding, we leave nothing to chance.

Armored Vehicle Testing: Material Selection and Ballistic Certification

It all begins with the materials. At VASG, we work only with certified ballistic-grade steel and advanced composites, including aramid fibers and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). These materials are selected based on stringent quality criteria and verified through laboratory testing to ensure their ballistic resistance and durability.

We partner with globally recognized suppliers and continuously evaluate new technologies to maintain our edge in armored protection. Our goal is to confirm through rigorous testing that every component—from panels to glass—meets or exceeds international ballistic standards.

Once materials are selected, they undergo a series of ballistic resistance tests. These controlled lab tests simulate gunfire using various calibers and projectile types to confirm that the armor components can absorb and dissipate kinetic energy effectively. Our engineers perform multi-hit testing, firing repeated rounds at the same area to be sure that the materials can perform consistently under repeated stress.

This part of armored vehicle testing is particularly important for vehicles used in high-threat environments, where multiple impacts are likely.

Real-World Understanding

To bridge the gap between theory and reality, VASG offers consultation services and performs threat assessments for every vehicle that undergoes the armoring process. Each armored vehicle is inspected top to bottom to ensure that it’s the perfect candidate for customization, and then the VASG team can pinpoint the type of armor the vehicle will need for its specific environment.

Consultations and assessments like these can help us fine-tune every detail and determine if a vehicle may need any unique modifications. After this, each vehicle will undergo our detailed armoring process.

Structural Integrity and Vehicle Durability Testing

An armored vehicle must not only protect passengers from bullets and blasts, but it must also maintain its structural integrity. This is why we conduct extensive durability assessments during our armored vehicle testing, including:

• Vibration testing to simulate rough terrain and prolonged use.

• Impact resistance testing for crash survivability and door strength.

• Suspension stress testing to evaluate the vehicle’s ability to handle added weight.

These tests help certify that our vehicles perform reliably across varied geographies, from urban environments to rugged off-road conditions.

Commitment to Continuous Innovation

We believe that the key to unmatched security is a constant drive to improve. VASG ensures that each technician is provided with extensive, continuous education while working with armored vehicles in order to stay up to date with modern and emerging technologies. This commitment makes sure that our vehicles stay ahead of evolving threats.

From the factory floor to active deployment, VASG armored vehicles undergo one of the most rigorous armored vehicle testing processes in the industry. Every bolt, weld, and armor plate is scrutinized to ensure that when it matters most, our vehicles perform flawlessly. Our process isn’t just about meeting standards—it’s about exceeding them.
