Ballistic and blast protection
Armour is a level the customer names and a laboratory verifies. Tanax brings the armoured truck cab work: the panels, the liners and the doors that take a round or a blast.

Armour panels to the customer's level
Armour panels are engineered to the protection level the customer names, with STANAG 4569 / AEP-55 as the reference. The level is verified per project.
Spall liners
A spall liner behind the armour catches the fragments the panel sheds, so a stopped round does not injure the crew.
Blast-resistant doors
Blast-resistant door options, with the frame tied into the structure and the hardware chosen for the pressure the programme names.
From the cab work
Tanax builds armoured truck cabs. The shelter work stands on the same panel, liner and door experience, under the same AQAP 2110 quality system.

Questions procurement asks
Which protection level does Tanax offer?
The level the customer names, with STANAG 4569 / AEP-55 as reference, verified per project. There is no catalogue level.
Send the requirement. The shelter is engineered to it and measured against it.
Frequency range and attenuation, TEMPEST level and zone, protection level, climate and carrier: name them and the engineering starts. The specification sheet comes with the reply.

Technical pages of this solution
- Military CommandSpecial-purpose shelters to NATO standards, built by a defence manufacturer that also builds and services military trucks.
- EMC and EMP shieldingA shielded shelter is only as good as its weakest aperture. The chain below is read the way a programme engineer reads it: the enclosure, every aperture, the point of entry, the grounding, and the measurement that proves it.
- TEMPESTTEMPEST is the discipline of keeping an emission inside. The shelter contributes the shielded volume, the separation and the filtered services; the level and the accreditation belong to the programme and its national security authority.
- CBRN collective protectionCollective protection keeps the inside clean while the outside is not: a filtered overpressure, an airlock to pass through and seals that hold.
- Mobility and transportA shelter that cannot move is a building. Every Tanax shelter carries ISO 1496 corners and moves by truck, hooklift, rail or sling; air-transportable sizes and expandable shelters are engineered on request.
- Environment and signatureThe shelter is engineered for the climate it is sent to and for how little of it should be seen: in daylight, in infrared and at night.
- Armoury containersA weapon store is a security cage first and a container second. Tanax has engineered one from a written specification before; this page is the build.
