Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention related to armored vehicle with dual side doors for protecting soldiers or policemen from attacks of multiple directions during implementing multiple tasks of patrol, surveillance, support, rescue, observation post, guard, checking point, and fight.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Terror threat looms across the world, an Anti-terrorism system should be reinforced day by day. The scope for Anti-terrorism systems is very large in physical terms (long borders, vast areas, high traffic volumes in busy cities, etc.). In this environment, the development of a persistent Anti-terrorism protection system is a difficult task. Such a system should bring together diverse state-of-the-art technologies to enable persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, and enable potential actions. Designing such a system-of-systems comprises a major technological project. A particular design problem for this system is that it will face many uncertainties in the future. The threat of terrorism may increase, decrease or remain the same, the type of terrorism and location are difficult to predict, and there are technological uncertainties. Yet we want to design a terrorism system conceived and designed today in order to prevent acts of terrorism for a decade or more. A potential solution is to incorporate flexibility into system design for the reason that the flexibility embedded can be exercised in future as uncertainty unfolds and updated information arrives. And the design and valuation of a protection system should not be based on a single scenario, but an array of scenarios. Flexibility can be incorporated in the design of the terrorism system in the form of options that can be exercised in the future when new information is available. will create a flexible Anti-terrorism system that is able to cope with new requirements that may arise. Military action can take over a city in short time, it is a long way to keep safety. 24 hours and 7 days patrolling is an important tactical operation to control a dangerous area. Soldiers and policemen stand up in front line. By present a robot, robotic vehicle, or autonomous driving car are more focus on specific task or civil transportation, they are not intend to be used as a bullet resist equipment for soldiers. Because terrorists are using assault weapons, personal protection equipment can't meet this challenge, there is a need to develop a new stronger mobile shield for protecting soldiers and policemen in street. This new mobile shield should provide better protection than personal protection equipment significantly.

There are many different armored fighting vehicles for military and police, they are good for protecting soldiers or policemen inside the vehicle and allow to return fires from inside of armored vehicle, but they are not designed to use as a multiple directions protecting equipment for soldiers or policemen walking around the vehicle. When soldiers and policemen are in vehicle, the vehicle provides a complete protection because the body and doors of vehicle are forming a close system. After a soldier or a policeman jump out of the vehicle, the body of vehicle only can provide one direction shield naturally, soldier or policeman exposure to attack from 5 other directions. Soldiers or police have to depend on their personal protection equipment or movement. The personnel protection equipment of body armor vet and helmet only provide limit light protection partly because human being's capability limits the weight and volume of personal protection equipment. Soldier and policemen are easy wound in dangerous environments.

Although there are many powerful firearms and armored vehicles, soldiers and policemen have to walk on street for fighting against enemy and crime, they face attack from six directions: front, right, left, top, bottom, and back. Soldier can walk between the armored vehicle, follow the vehicle, and stand on the side of the armored vehicle. The armored vehicle provides one or two direction protection, but also affect soldier watching and firing back in such directions.

By present there is no vehicle designed for providing a full mobile shield for protecting soldier and policemen who fight on ground, there is a gap between fighting vehicle and soldier, they can't move, protect, and fight together. Because an armored vehicle must have a high ground clearance for easy pass through, there is a big gap between an opening hinged side door and ground. This gap reduces the shield function of the opened door dramatically. The hinged side doors of normal policeman are too short and narrow, the opening doors can't provide full body cover, police are shot from front, side, and high building. A normal opening side door of the vehicle can't allow soldier stand up safely and easily for watching and firing, soldier have to bend in uncomfortable situation that affect soldier do their best. Soldier have to expose their head and body bravely and dangerously for taking better observation position and efficient shooting angle, soldier's head and legs become easy target in battle field.

By studying shooting angel and vehicle structure carefully, an opening gullwing door is good for protecting attack from high building but no protection for side, an opening hinged swing side door is a device for protecting attacks from front and side, but no protection for top. To install a gullwing door and a special hinged swing door in the same side of a vehicle is designed for forming a protected space for soldier or policemen in fighting ground. Our invention combines a hinged right side door with a foldable top screen and a bottom panel, a right gullwing door, a hinged left side door with a foldable top screen and a bottom panel, a left gullwing door, and a vehicle body together in a specific arrangement to create a new double side doors armored vehicle for providing multiple direction shields to soldier and police.

The driver opens the gullwing door upward, opens the hinged swing side door outward in the same side of the vehicle, and then enter the vehicle. The driver closes the hinged swing door with folded top screen and bottom panel first, and then closes the gullwing door. The closed gullwing overlays on outside of the closed hinged swing side door. The overlaid gullwing door and swing side door reinforces side protection significantly.

The driver slows down the vehicle before start a ground battel. The gullwing door is opened upward, and then the hinged swing side door is opened outward. Soldiers get off the vehicle, stand up under the opened gullwing door and behind the opened side door. An opening right and left gullwing doors can protecting attacks from high building. An opening right and left hinged swing doors can protecting attacks from front, right, and left acceptably after the top folded screens and the folded bottom panels are unfolded. The standing up top screens can protect soldier's head and allow soldier stand up for better watching and fighting. The unfold bottom panels reduce shooting angle significantly and provide protection to soldier's legs and feet.

The dual side doors armored vehicle has capability to provide multiple directions protection as a mobile shield that is stronger than personal protection devices. The dual side doors armored can be a man driven car or an autonomous vehicle. It can be used as leading vehicle before other vehicle, or used in group for protecting marching soldiers. It can be used a checking post, street block, a shelter, an information collecting center etc. These side doors can be made of armored material such as alloy steel, fibers, aluminum, glass etc. Although the vehicle body that included all operation system, control system, information system, firearm system is most important, they are shown as external elements in our invention

The design of double side doors armored vehicle creates a platform for man drive vehicle or self-driving vehicle. The bullet-resistant material will be used to build the swing door, gullwing door, folding screen, folding panel, and vehicle body. The unique dual side door vehicle is specifically designed with the objective of protecting passengers and walking soldier in high-threat environments in any conditions. Wherever it will find itself in, the unique double side doors armored vehicle has the capability to provide the kind of reliability, mobility, and protection that transport vehicles like this are unknown for. The double side doors vehicle can be used for army, marine, national guard, police, SWAT, security agency for patrol, fighting etc. It will be useful in riot control if other equipment is installed such as a water canon, a flashing light etc.

Any prior arts of armored vehicle haven't a hinged swing door with foldable panels overlapped with a sea gullwing door for providing full protection capability of inside and outside the vehicle to the passenger in purpose.

In conclusion, insofar as I am aware, no armored vehicle, police car formerly developed provides the dual side doors as a mobile shield to soldiers comfortably riding, following, and fighting around the vehicle.
