When Five Tonnes Decline to Slow on Demand
Stopping power, heat, and the awkward physics of armoured mass
In discussions about civilian armoured vehicles, people tend to focus on the obvious measures of protection, armour ratings, glazing, and external security indicators. That’s important, of course, but the systems you don’t immediately see can be just as critical for keeping the occupants safe. Braking performance is a perfect example. The issue came into sharp focus at the 4th Annual CAV Forum…
