Benefits of technology

The patent describes armored vehicles with a bullet-proof glass shield that can be used for protection in high-risk situations. The vehicles can fit through doors and elevators that meet disability standards. The invention also includes additional ballistic panels that meet military standards. The patent also mentions a version of the invention that allows for passage through freight elevators. Overall, the invention provides a unique solution for protecting people and vehicles in high-risk situations.

Problems solved by technology

A dangerous aspect of an officer's job is to enter a building when it is occupied by armed individual(s).
Often, after breaching a door, an officer is subject to physical and assaults from deadly weapons.
Generally, an officer enters a room with minimal protection, wearing a tactical vest, and maybe utilizing a hand carried shield which places the officer in a tactical disadvantage because one arm is occupied, thus reducing his response to deadly threats.
In addition, the hand carried tactical shield is heavy, one-dimensional, and provides limited coverage.
Further, although other multi-role armored vehicles are available, they are too large or inadequate to enter buildings, especially in residential or urban neighborhoods, without causing significant structural damages primarily due to their large, cumbersome, and generally destructive nature when they breach a building.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]The RSAV 20 is a mechanically-operated vehicle, with a fully enclosed tactical bullet resistant glass shield 6, that is designed to be operated by trained law enforcement or military personnel (therein referred to as “Operator”) during moderate to high-risk entries into a building or residence. The RSAV will allow personnel to drive the vehicle from a steering wheel. When the RSAV is sedentary, passengers as well as the operator can use both hands to utilize on board tools / weapons if a threat is encountered. Particularly, RSAV provides a four wheeled motorized platform which transports an operator and passengers into hostile environments. The wheels are motorized and allow easier entry into buildings.

[0017]An embodiment of the RSAV has a shield consisting of bullet resistant glass 6 panels and ballistic panels 13, similar to standard UL protection level rating 8, provides fully-enclosed protection and enhances the operator's and passengers' safety if ambushed from several dire...
