US Soldiers Praise Life-saving VehicleGARD® Glass Protection Film Applied to Thousands of Military Vehicles
ShatterGARD, a leading global provider of glass protection technology, has recently unveiled an innovative blast mitigating glass protection film. This transparent shield acts as an invisible coat of armor, safeguarding US troops from the lethal dangers of flying glass. The company proudly announces that their VehicleGARD® glass protection film has been successfully applied to over 5,000 military vehicles currently deployed in combat zones and support positions across Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan.
To facilitate the installation process, ShatterGARD has introduced custom-cut ‘peel and stick’ kits that are specifically designed for easy application. These kits, which include instructional videotapes and field installation tools, have been directly shipped to the troops, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience.
Jordan Frankel, Vice President of ShatterGARD, Inc., emphasizes the tangible and immediate benefits that VehicleGARD® window protection film provides to soldiers risking their lives daily in combat situations. The company consistently receives feedback from soldiers who affirm saved lives and the prevention of serious injuries to the protective film. VehicleGARD® not only offers an affordable and simple-to-install solution, but it also instills a sense of peace of mind for vehicle occupants.
When applied to automotive glass surfaces, VehicleGARD® window protection film significantly enhances the strength of standard vehicle glass. In the unfortunate event of a bomb blast, the film effectively holds all shattered glass fragments together, greatly reducing the risk of passenger injuries. This advanced technology represents the latest generation of widely adopted window protection films extensively used in the military and law enforcement sectors. ShatterGARD’s comprehensive database includes the window dimensions of nearly all military vehicles, enabling swift and accurate installation of the film even in harsh and challenging environments.
Captain Kathleen Jacobson from the United States Army’s Transportation Battalion shares a compelling testimony about the effectiveness of ShatterGARD’s protective window film. She recounts an incident where an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated in close proximity to a military vehicle, yet the occupants emerged unharmed. Captain Jacobson unequivocally affirms that ShatterGARD’s window film saves lives, underscoring the notion that winning a war requires more than just military might, with ShatterGARD actively contributing to the daily fight.
Research indicates that the majority of blast-related fatalities and injuries result from the lethal impact of flying glass. By minimizing or eliminating this risk, VehicleGARD® glass protection film serves as a cost-effective and proven solution to mitigate the dangers of injury in life-threatening situations.
