Smokescreen System - An Easy Escape

Armored vehicles are becoming a necessity in today’s world that is bombarded with new threats and dangers by the day. The armored protection provides security against violent attacks while traveling on the road. The occupants are assured that they will stay safe in the face of various assaults like gun shots, bomb explosions and the like.

Apart from the regular ballistic protection, the armored vehicle can also be equipped with additional hi-tech options that will further raise the security level of the vehicle.

For instance – what if someone is constantly chasing the armored vehicle? Even though the attackers cannot harm the occupants inside, they may continue riding the rear bumper no end. The occupants will be hard pushed to stop and disembark the vehicle in a safe manner.

A smokescreen system will help deter such dangerous chases. All it takes is a push of a button to create a dense, blinding smoke cloud behind the vehicle that will make it virtually impossible for the followers to see anything in front of them. This instantly masks the location and movement of the armored vehicle and allows for a safe escape. By the time the smoke clears, the attackers will be left clueless about where the vehicle ‘disappeared’!

What happens is that a smoke generator is installed at the rear of the vehicle which heats a volatile material (an oil or oil based mixture) till it evaporates. As the oil vapor mixes with the cool external air, it automatically condenses to form a smoke mist which is emitted from the exhaust pipes of the vehicle.
