The first domestic tactical transport platform that camouflages B7 concealed ballistic protection and STANAG 4569 Level 2 mine resistance under the contemporary aesthetics of a civilian midibus according to defense industry standards.
In tactical personnel transport within the defense industry, strategic camouflage capability is as critical an element of operational success as security itself.ADBA B7, Turkey's first domestic midibus project with aB7 security level, was brought to life with an innovativeindustrial designvision that units a civilian appearance with military defense power in a single body.
Presenting the silhouette of an ordinary, elegant, and modern civilian midibus gliding on intercity roads from the outside, ADBA B7 carries a high-strength fortress within. In the exterior design process we conducted as DesignPerest Studio, smooth surface lines were structured to completely conceal the vehicle's armored identity, ensuring that personnel are transported without becoming a target.
“ADBA B7 is a domestic fortress walking in high-risk areas, featuring B7 level ballistic armor and STANAG 4569 Level 2 mine protection hidden beneath the elegance of civilian architecture.”
Ballistic composite body panels integrated into the civilian midibus lines, unnotified from the outside.
Concealed protection joints that prevent bullet and shrapnel fragments from leaking through door gaps.
A rigid inner ballistic protection wall and chassis mounting that separates the cabin interior from the engine and luggage compartment.
B7-level ballistic steel and ceramic armor plates perfectly hidden under the shell of a standard civilian midibus were supported with special bullet traps (overlaps) at door joints. The windows, carrying no trace of armor from the outside, were manufactured with multi-layered ballistic polycarbonate composite glass.
Exterior surface panels developed in partnership with Irigul Technology Inc., resistant to impacts, blast pressure, and high-temperature fires, both keep the vehicle lightweight and offer maximum ballistic protection.
The underbody of the vehicle was armored with a V-shaped reinforced composite floor plate that will absorb blast shock waves originating from mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and evacuate them outward. This floor architecture, meetingSTANAG 4569 Level 2criteria of NATO military standards, prevents blast energy from directly entering the passenger cabin.
The seats inside the cabin are not mounted to the chassis, but to the roof with special shock-absorbing mounts to mitigate mines, guaranteeing the spinal safety of the personnel even in the most challenging terrain conditions.
A reinforced front grille design that protects the radiator and engine without disrupting the civilian appearance.
Polycarbonate composite glasses resistant to high-caliber ammunition in standard tinted glass aesthetics.
Lightweight exterior body panels suitable for mass production and providing ease of assembly.
To avoid losing mobility during a potential conflict, the vehicle is equipped with military run-flat tire systems capable of cruising at a minimum speed of 50 km/h even if punctured. A self-sealing fuel tank and an engine compartment fire suppression system transform the vehicle into an unstoppable mobility unit in the field.
In theinterior design, comfortable journey seats for duty personnel, helmet and equipment storage pockets, along with encrypted radio and tactical satellite communication infrastructure, are ergonomically positioned.
Steel-composite architecture hidden behind civilian lines, providing full ballistic protection against high-caliber rifle and shrapnel threats.
An elegant and simple industrial body form that perfectly matches intercity civilian midibus lines and does not attract the attention of threat elements.
V-bottom structure that directs blast shock outward and independent passenger seats suspended from the roof to absorb mines.
Military run-flat tire systems, self-sealing fuel tank, and operational radio-satellite communication infrastructure.
Operational threat scenarios, B7 ballistic armor weight, and chassis capacity calculation.
Sketches that hide armor thicknesses and overlap lines behind a civilian midibus silhouette.
Digital CAD modeling of ballistic steel plates, mine floor, and cabin interior ergonomics.
Zero-tolerance manufacturing of laser-cut steel armor, polycarbonate glass, and chassis integration.
Live-fire B7 certification tests, mine blast simulation, and driving dynamics.
