The VEE Window is adaptable to virtually any tactical up-armored combat vehicle.It uses the vehicle’s existing ballistic glass, coupled with an armor modification kit and window fastener hardware that can be installed in the field in approximately one hour by trained Army or Marine maintenance crews.

The simplicity of the VEE Window design enables one passenger to remove the window. In the event of a vehicle emergency, a crew member simply pulls out the locking pins, turns the two latches and pushes the window out.

The VEE Window can be removed in less than five seconds to provide passengers another way to rapidly exit the vehicle in the event of an emergency, rollover or entrapment situation.
