Suddenly a large crane comes into view hoisting a car, the SEAT Leon that has been adapted for the Italian police force. Today's the big day – they're going to put all its armour to the test. Almost without warning, bullets fired at 1,400 km/h start showering the vehicle. The 22 millimetre reinforced windscreen takes most of the hits and withstands them all. So do the doors, which are armoured with B4 protection level plating with a minimum resistance of 44 and 357 Magnum ammunition. When the test is over, the technicians check the results. If there had been passengers in the car, none would have suffered any injuries. For the next test, several technicians use launchers to project large rocks at the windows. Their laminated glass cracks, but they don't shatter and break. It's been a long, painstaking process. The SEAT Leon 2.0 TDI has become the new car of the Polizia di Stato and the Carabinieri. The technicians put in a lot of hard work equipping the interior with ceiling mounted racks for weapons and bulletproof vests, and installing elements such as a radio and GPS tracking device, commands and controls for the doors and searchlights. They've also been equipped with special police car lights and a siren, as well as a prisoner cell in the rear seat. All the punishing endurance tests are a thing of the past, like the 100,000 opening and closing operations of the door, or the 30,000 kilometres covered with stops only to refuel the car and relieve the drivers. Or the last dynamic test, a simulated high speed chase that took the car to its top speed of over 200 km/h. At the end of all this testing, the SEAT Leon is now fully equipped to join the Italian police force. Civilian armored cars are either (in only a few cases) factory produced, such as the Audi A6 and A8, Lincoln Town Car BPS, the Hyundai Equus, the BMW High Security series, or (in the majority of cases) retrofitted versions of series cars. A security vehicle is made by replacing the windows with bulletproof glass and inserting layers of armor plate under the outer skin of the car, a labor-intensive process that generally takes a few weeks and most often costs upward of $100,000 USD. The makers usually leave the external appearance of the car unchanged, in order that it look as inconspicuous as possible. In most cases materials like Aramid (e.g. Kevlar), HMPE (e.g. Dyneema), composites or ballistic stainless steel plates are used, and the increased mass is offset by a more powerful engine and brakes and stronger shock absorbers. The increased weight means that the mechanical parts of an armored car are subjected to higher forces than normal, which in turn reduces the service life of the car. U.S. military researchers are developing a new class of transparent armor incorporating aluminum oxynitride (Trade name: ALON) as the outside "strike plate" layer. It is much lighter and performs much better than traditional glass/polymer laminates. Aluminum oxynitride "glass" can defeat threats like the .50 caliber armor piercing rounds using material that is not prohibitively heavy.[3] Various types of other materials which closely resemble glass are also being developed. Bulletproof glass (also known as ballistic glass, transparent armor, or bullet-resistant glass) is a type of strong but optically transparent material that is particularly resistant to being penetrated when struck. Like any material, however, they are not completely impenetrable. It is usually made from a combination of two or more types of glass, one hard and one soft. The softer layer makes the glass more elastic, so it can flex instead of shatter. The index of refraction for both of the glasses used in the bulletproof layers must be almost the same to keep the glass transparent and allow a clear, undistorted view through the glass. Bulletproof glass varies in thickness from 3/4 in. to 3.5 in. (19 mm to 90 mm)
