ARMORING
Let your Humvee make a statement.
Your choice of armoring is crucial.
Armoring plays a big role in how a Humvee comes together, both visually and structurally. At Standard Threat, we approach it as part of the overall build rather than a separate add-on. Some customers want a simple, factory style setup, others prefer a fully enclosed look, and many land somewhere in between. We design and manufacture all armor components in-house, including doors and perimeter systems. This allows us to work directly with each customer's preferences and build the vehicle in a way that feels cohesive, deliberate, and true to the Humvee platform.
Armoring Levels
We offer several armoring levels, ranging from no armor at all to fully enclosed configurations. Some builds fall cleanly into these categories, while others land somewhere in between for appearance or balance. Below is a simple breakdown of our standard armor levels.
Base
This configuration keeps the Humvee unarmored. It retains the original look, weight, and driving feel of the vehicle, making it the lightest and most straightforward option.
A-Kit
The A-Kit adds armor to key lower and forward areas of the Humvee. This typically includes underbody protection and cowl components, offering a more substantial, purposeful look while keeping the vehicle largely open and unchanged above the beltline. Optimal for rocker and underbody protection on rough terrain.
B-Kit
The B-Kit extends armor around the vehicle's perimeter. This level fully encloses the Humvee with armored panels, doors, and supporting components, giving it a more complete, solid appearance and a noticeably heavier presence.
FRAG 5
FRAG 5 builds on the B-Kit layout with thicker, reinforced perimeter armor. This level results in the most substantial visual profile, with added mass and structure that clearly sets it apart from lighter configurations.
Turrets & Cupolas
Every Humvee turret starts with the same basic idea: an opening in the roof. At its simplest, it's essentially the world's most overbuilt sunroof. From there, things can get more serious depending on how far you want to take it.
We offer turret setups in three main arrangements, each with a very different look and presence.
Once a cupola is added — whether MCTAGS, GPK, or OGPK — the Humvee crosses a line visually. It's no longer something that could be mistaken for a civilian Hummer. It becomes an unmistakable, intentional piece of military equipment.
Hatch-Only
The hatch-only setup keeps things simple. It allows the roof to open and lets someone stand through the turret opening, giving the Humvee an open, interactive feel. This option is often chosen for the experience alone — it changes how the vehicle feels without dramatically changing its overall profile.
MCTAGS Cupola
The MCTAGS cupola is the Marine Corps–style option. Adding one immediately changes the character of the Humvee, giving it a taller, more mechanical presence. At this point, the vehicle stops blending in — it becomes something unmistakable.
OGPK Cupola
The OGPK cupola is the Army-style configuration and the most visually dominant of the three. Like the MCTAGS, it fully transforms the vehicle's silhouette, setting it apart from anything else on the road and firmly placing it in the category of purpose-built military hardware.
