Armored cars and armored vehicles can now withstand smoke and dangerous gases thanks to the Armoraire Filter System. This air filtration defends the occupants of an HSS armored vehicle from contaminated air and provides passengers with safe, breathable air.
 
In the event that a dirty bomb or radioactive explosive is detonated, or an airborne gas is released, the armored car from HSS can now employ an extra level of security that is truely unique.
 
The Armoraire Filter System maintains a positive pressure within the armored vehicle using air that has been rendered free of both harmful gases and dangerous solid particles.  An activated carbon filter aboarbs harmful gasses while a special filter removes 99.97% or more of any particulate matter. The air filtration system maintains a cabin pressure that is slightly higher than the outside pressure.  This insures that all air leakage exits the vehicle, preventing contaminated air from entering.
 
Armoraire contains two separate subsystems that work together to keep the occupants safe.  The first part is the physical filtering system that has the gaseous filter and a particulate filter along with a powerful blower that is used to maintain positive pressure. The second part is an electronic control system that monitors all pertinent vehicle conditions and controls the blower to maintain a safe environment.
 
The Blower / Filter Subsystem is contained in an enclosure that is approximately 12 in x 24 in x 18 in (305mm x 610mm x 457mm) in size.  Outside air is drawn into the unit and clean, safe air is discharged into the intake of the vehicle heating / air conditioning system so that hot or cold outside air is never directly vented into the passenger compartment.  Filter elements can be easily changed without the use of any tools.
 
The Control Subsystem consists of a touch screen, color display that allows the drive or passenger to easily monitor and control the entire system.  Safety condition data displayed consist of:
 
 Pre-filter condition
 Particle filter condition
 Gas filter condition
 Interior cabin pressure
 Operating condition of various other safety and offensive systems
 Warnings if any doors are open
 Warnings if cabin pressure falls below a safe level
 
In addition to providing the occupants with safety data, the touch screen interface can also activate various safety and offensive systems.  These options may consist of:

• RF Jamming to counter roadside bombs
• Tear Gas dispenser for riot / crowd control
• Siren / Alarm System
• Exterior Lighting
• Intercom System Inside to Outside
• Red Lights Behind Grills
• Siren and P.A. System
• Strobe Lights
