Real-World Armored Vehicle Deployments

The Boxer® was developed as a uniquely designed truck for the US Army. The platform was adopted for deployments in Iraq alongside other clients in the United States and worldwide.

This case demonstrates the group's depth in military-grade specification work, not just civilian and law enforcement applications. The same organization that builds discreet executive cars also builds vehicles deployed in active military theaters.

A US-allied Middle Eastern government took delivery of multiple Pit-Bull® VX vehicles and the newly deployed VXT model. Both platforms are second-generation builds engineered for environments where rifle-rated protection and the ability to operate in convoy are baseline requirements.

The order represents the international expansion of the VXT platform beyond its original launch markets and reflects continuing trust in the Pit-Bull® family across multiple operating environments.

A major multinational oil company commissioned a large commercial order of right-hand-drive armored vehicles for crew security across its extensive operations in Indonesia. The build profile combined ballistic protection, operational reliability across long distances and challenging terrain, and the discretion required for a vehicle that needs to blend into local traffic.

RHD conversion is technically demanding because the standard armoring kit must be re-engineered to maintain ballistic integrity once the steering and dashboard architecture is mirrored. The order demonstrates the group's ability to deliver this capability at fleet scale.

SLED's tactical team specified a Pointer® armored SWAT Van for state-level operations. The Pointer® was selected for its combination of rifle-rated protection and a discreet commercial van silhouette, allowing the team to maintain posture without the visual escalation associated with traditional SWAT vehicles.

The vehicle is in active service for SLED's full operational mission set, including warrant service, counter-narcotics, and dignitary protection support.

The Roswell Police Department took delivery of a Pit-Bull® VX as the agency's newest platform. The VX is the second-generation Pit-Bull®, with the highest protection levels available in the line.

Wichita PD operates two Pit-Bull® trucks: one as the primary command vehicle and the other as an overwatch and personnel platform. The two-truck approach is one of the more sophisticated municipal SWAT deployment patterns in the United States.

It reflects an agency that has invested in scenario planning beyond the single-vehicle standard. The original deployment dates from 2013 per Alpine's testimonial timestamp.

GMU PD operates a Pit-Bull® VX to support student and faculty safety across one of Virginia's largest public university campuses.

The deployment reflects the post-2010s shift in campus law enforcement toward armored response capability, especially for institutions with dispersed campuses that exceed conventional patrol response times.

The Transylvania County Sheriff's Office uses a Pit-Bull® XL for operations across a rural mountainous jurisdiction. The XL is a higher-protection variant rated to A11 (B7), capable of stopping armor-piercing rounds from high-power rifles.

Rural sheriff's offices face a specific operational profile: long response distances, limited backup, and threat scenarios that can include rifle threats. The XL specification matches this risk profile.

The Carver County Sheriff's Office Tactical Team operates an Armored POINTER® SWAT Van as part of its high-threat response capability. The POINTER® is engineered to resemble a commercial work van rather than a tactical vehicle, allowing the Sheriff's Tactical Team to maintain a low profile while staging and approaching active scenes.

In the agency's own words, the POINTER® "is ideal for allowing the Sheriff's Tactical Team to maintain a low profile while engaging in high-threat operations." The vehicle is in active service supporting the full range of tactical team missions.

The Mexican Federal Police operates a fleet of Pit-Bull® VX trucks for patrol and response. The original order was placed in 2012 to support Mexico's effort to fight organized crime, and the fleet remains active.

Mexico is one of the most demanding operational environments in the Western hemisphere for armored law enforcement vehicles. The fleet has logged more than a decade of continuous service in active counter-cartel operations.

Tunisia's Brigade Anti-Terrorism makes extensive use of the Pit-Bull® VX across a variety of operations. The 2015 deployment reflects a North African counter-terrorism environment where rapid armored response is a core capability requirement.

The Royal Turks and Caicos Police Force commissioned a custom RHD variant of the Pit-Bull® VX. RHD is the standard configuration for the British overseas territory, and the conversion required changing the platform's standard layout while preserving the same A9–A11 protection levels as the LHD original.

The build illustrates the group's customization range: the same protection envelope and operational capability, and a chassis configuration not included in the platform's default specification.

The group conducted a publicly documented live-fire test of an armored Tesla Model S, validating the platform's resilience against high-caliber rifle fire. The test demonstrated that the armoring methodology used on internal-combustion vehicles transfers cleanly to the very different mass distribution and weight constraints of an electric vehicle.

Electric vehicles introduce specific challenges: range loss with armoring weight is more pronounced than with ICE vehicles, and the structural loads on the battery enclosure require armoring approaches that respect the EV chassis architecture.

When Car and Driver visited the manufacturing facility for a feature on the armoring industry, the team had just shipped a bulletproof Toyota Camry. The build illustrates the group's discretion-first philosophy: a vehicle that looks completely standard, contains a fully integrated armored shell, and avoids any of the visual cues that would signal armoring to even a trained observer.

The same Car and Driver feature documents that the team applies the same fundamental process across platforms — from a Camry to a Mercedes G-Wagen — with the goal in every case being to create an armored pod inside a vehicle that looks unmodified from the outside.

The MASTIFF® is a never-before-attempted civilian-style armored truck rated to A12, capable of stopping .50 BMG rounds. Production is limited to 21 units worldwide. The platform delivers extreme-threat protection in a chassis that drives like a heavy-duty pickup rather than a tactical vehicle.

The MASTIFF® represents the upper bound of what is achievable in non-military armored-truck technology. The fact that the production run is limited rather than open-ended reflects the precision required to build to this specification.

The group has armored a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The build extends a documented track record across ultra-luxury platforms, including Maybach and the G-Wagen-class luxury SUVs featured in the Car and Driver article.
