Tatra » Force with armored cab

Tatra unveiled a new armored cab for the Force military range at the International Defence and Security Technologies Fair IDET 2017 in Brno. The new armoured cab is based on the original design of the modernized common variant of the FORCE cab. In accordance with NATO standards, it has been fully certified by the Military Research Institute in Brno to LEVEL 2a/b of ballistic and mine protection, and it features a protection setting option of up to LEVEL 3/b.

The cab comes in two-door and four-door design with a capacity of three (1+2) or five (1+4) seats. Both variants have the same height and the same interior design, including the material of the instrument panel. These armoured cabs with improved ballistic and mine resistance are also equipped with special seats, protecting the crew against a pressure wave in the event of an explosion under the cab. The roof of the armoured cab has a variable orifice to mount a weapon system on it.

The installation of the armoured cab on the FORCE vehicle required structural modifications to the vehicle chassis, especially in terms of the integrated mine resistance of the cab floor. The assembling length of the armoured cab is the same as that of the regular version, even in the four-door design.
