As is known, that the class of ballistic protection of the car is limited to the maximum permissible gross vehicle weight. Exceeding this parameter leads to a sharp deterioration of performance quality (driving dynamics, safety, service, etc.). The most significant factor in increasing the weight of an armored vehicle is the thickness of the glass. The thickness of armored glass protection class B6 - 40 mm, B7 - 80mm. Full-standard windows weigh more than 100 kg, it is 3 times heavier than protection made of bulletproof steel! In addition, the heavy weight of windows significantly shifts the center of gravity of the car, which reduces the stability of the car and can lead to overturning when cornering. This problem was solved by using smart windows (Patent IPC B60P 3/03 (2006.01).) The following design was developed and implemented for the first time in the world. Above the window aperture there is a special video camera with infrared illumination, in the window aperture outside - standard darkened glasses, behind them - bulletproof steel (or other bulletproof materials), and from the inside - a special display stylized as a standard window on which the image from the video camera is displayed. This design solution allows to reduce the weight of the car by hundreds of kilograms or increase the class of protection of the vehicle. It should be noted that through our smart windows you can see in the dark. In addition, the displays are used as additional multimedia tools; each passenger can have a customized large-scale monitor. The patent IPC B60P 3 / 03 (2006.01) has a world priority, and there also are a number of national patents.
