Hardened "Federal-M" confirms its characteristics
Created by specialists of the Moscow company "Institute Trucks" new secure car "Federal-M" chassis commercially available highly reliable car Ural-4320 and its modification Ural-55571 was tested the protective properties of the machine. In these trials were fully confirmed the declared characteristics protected machine.
Secure car "Federal-M" is intended for use as a vehicle for the transport of personnel with the necessary level of protection from fire main types of small arms and explosives blasting in off-road and all types of roads.
Currently, the power structures of Russia and foreign countries are already widely used secure cars designed and created by a team of "Institute Trucks" like "Esaul" "Ataman", "Highlander", "Tornado" and "Federal". Many of the technologies that have been developed at the Institute, are used in the creation of modern wheeled armored personnel carriers and armored vehicles families "Tiger", "Wolf", "The Bear" and "Typhoon".
New secure car "Federal-M" was created on the chassis of a commercially available highly reliable car Ural-4320 and its modification Ural-55571. Armored car body is made in one-volume layout. Privacy and crew survivability machine provides booking machine, made by technology volume-differentiated bronekapsuly (ODB-capsule). Number of doors armored body, depending on the customer requirements can be from three to six. Aft door swing is made clamshell that provides fast embarkation and disembarkation of personnel carried in the car. For the convenience of boarding and alighting through the aft door on the frame of the machine is equipped with a playground and a retractable ladder, and under all other doors are made of stairs. The absence of the central beam in the rear doors swing design ensures easy and quick loading and unloading of the goods transported.
Reservations ODB capsule provides a basic level of ballistic protection class 5 according to GOST 50963-96. Armored glass of the machine body, including the windshield, provide protection at 6A class. At customer level ballistic protection can be increased to 6 or 6A class according to GOST. Improved ballistic protection, depending on the wishes of the customer, may be due to the installation of additional protective armor modules outside the housing or installation of such modules inside the hull that does not issue outside of an increased level of protection of the machine. Also at the request of the customer, "Federal-M" can be made with a hidden booking engine compartment because the specificity of the tasks of several law enforcement agencies require, where possible, the lack in appearance technique used threatening or frightening elements of the exterior of the machine.
The interior is equipped antirikoshetnoy antioskolochnoy and protection based on aramid fabrics, developed by specialists of "Institute Trucks". Frontal bulletproof cockpit doors are equipped with bulletproof glass and closing loopholes for firing of weapons carried by staff personnel. Also closes loopholes in the rear doors fitted in the hull sides. A total of 17 machines are equipped with loopholes that allows firing of weapons carried by staff personnel of 360 ° and allows repel enemy ambush from any direction. To prevent high concentration of propellant gases in the cabin during the shooting, the car is equipped with gas removal system, roof mounted fans Corps, operating in suction or discharge, and also can be used emergency ventilation and technological hatches. These hatches, moreover, at the customer's request can be fitted with various weapons. In addition to customer specifications on the roof of the machine can be installed one or another variant of remotely controlled weapon stations with large-caliber machine gun, or a single or automatic grenade launcher caliber 30-40 mm.
To improve mine protection bottom ODB capsule is made in the performance of mine - has a V-shape and Mine "sandwich". In conjunction with the large height of the floor of the earth - more than 1.3 meters and the presence of specific anti-mine seats, developed by specialists of "Institute Trucks" have passed extensive tests and received a patent. Cockpit floor has an additional raised floor for the feet, which is not in contact with the bottom of the cab and prevents getting leg injuries crew during landmine and explosive devices. The whole complex of measures mine protection used in the construction of the car, "Federal-M", gives high chances to be able to continue the combat mission inside the machine crew and personnel at blasting machine by mines or explosive devices ranging from 3 to 10 kg of TNT ( Depending on the version ODB-capsule).
These characteristics have been fully confirmed by tests of the machine "Federal-M" on ballistic and mine resistance. During the tests on the machine body produced more than 100 rounds ammunition with a bullet from TEOS 7.62mm AKM with a range from 100 to 10 m. As a result of shootings on various elements of the machine body, such as welds, door joints, bulletproof glass , roof, door locks niches and others, have been received no penetration, qualified according to the requirements of visitors - a krack through which can leak kerosene.

Tests at undermining also confirmed the declared characteristics of the machine on which resistance to explosion. Undermining the car is made in two stages: first the undermining of 3 kg of TNT, and then undermining 7 kg of TNT. The explosive charge was laid under the geometric center of the passenger compartment of a vehicle in accordance with GOST. The test results even exceeded the expectations of designers. After the explosion showed no evidence of equipment exorbitant accelerations depressurization of the body (ie, no numb blast wave) and exceedances of sound pressure. In other words, the crew and the personnel in the car, "Federal-M" in blasting explosive devices on the same power does not get injured, dangerous for the life and performance of combat tasks. Lack of exceedance is the sound pressure allows the personnel inside the machine without special headphones, what are obliged to use the military inside the machine type MRAP foreign production.
Depending on the case and additional equipment with the crew car "Federal-M" can transport 12 to 17 fully-equipped soldiers.
The fuel tanks of the machine equipped with special protection against splashing and ignition of fuel in blasting, is another "know-how" of the enterprise.
On the "Federal-M" can be set various additional equipment. For example, the machine can be equipped with radio controlled fuses blocker explosive devices, remotely controlled weapon stations, shooting system of special equipment such as "Gun carriage"; complex setting smoke (aerosol), curtains, air conditioning in the cabin or additional heater.
Depending on the destination machine it can be additionally installed ram bumper, dozer blade; protective grille (bronezhalyuzi) on windows, exterior mounting system of protective screens and special antitravmaticheskie mats. If necessary, "Federal-M" can be equipped with the signal loudspeaker unit (SSU), CCTV and registration, additional lights and spotlights.
Using as a base machine "Federal-M" vehicle chassis with high cross Ural-4320 provides a machine for high operational reliability, high maintainability, unmatched throughput and ease of training of crews operating rules. In the operation of the machine is not different from the usual "Ural", and on the units and the units is unified with the legendary multipurpose army vehicles. Construction booking engine compartment provides quick access to major engine systems for their service. Depending on the wishes of the customer on the machine can be installed as a regular diesel engine with environmental standards Euro 0, and with environmental standards Euro 2, 4, or 5. Protected Vehicles "Federal-M" can be used without restrictions in temperatures from -45 ° C to + 50 ° C.
The design of a special armored vehicle "Federal-M", which is based on long experience of specialists of "Institute of construction equipment» Technology Development multifunctional protection and safety of life, provides high assurance security personnel, exploiting this technique.
