STANAG 4569

NATO AEP-55 STANAG 4569 is a NATO Standardization Agreement covering the standards for the "Protection Levels for Occupants of Logistic and Light Armored Vehicles".[1]

The standard covers strikes from Kinetic Energy, artillery, and IED blasts.

Level 1

Kinetic Energy

7.62×51mm NATO Ball (Ball M80) at 30 meters with velocity 833 m/s[1][2]

5.56×45mm NATO Ball (SS109) at 30 meters with a velocity of 910 m/s

5.56×45mm NATO Ball (M193) at 30 meters with a velocity of 930 m/s

Protection against all three threats must be provided.

Grenade and Mine Blast

Hand grenades, unexploded artillery fragmenting submunitions, and other small anti personnel explosive devices detonated under the vehicle.

Artillery

155 mm High Explosive at 100 m

Grenade and Mine Blast Threat

6 kg (explosive mass) Blast AT Mine:
2a – Mine Explosion pressure activated under any wheel or track location.
2b – Mine Explosion under center.

Artillery
