Rocket Propelled
Grenade's pose a threat to foreign dignitaries travelling in unprotected SUV's. BAE
Systems requested that all of Penn State's ED&G classes formulate a design concept on
how to defend against this problem. Our project attempts to address this issue by creating
an evasive defense mechanism. After an RPG is detected, lift struts and a support
frame raise the SUV 6 feet into the air. Should the frame be hit by an RPG, a
built-in breakaway system will allow the lift to collapse to a level over which the SUV
can drive.
