GARDS™ are attached in the field to the interior of the existing HMMWVV doorframe, upgrading threat level protection to NIJ Level IIIA, providing for a radical increase in protection from small arms fire, projectiles, fragmentation and shrapnel when compared to the original equipment fabric doors.
GARDS installs in fifteen minutes, weighs under six pounds per panel, requires no maintenance and as the original door structure and canvas cover remain intact is unnoticeable from the outside of the vehicle. GARDS' strength, durability and low weight is a result of US Global's G-Lam™ nano-fiber anti-ballistic material. G-Lam™ is created with a patent-pending process that results in mechanical properties far superior to common anti-ballistic composite materials. US Global has developed G-Lam™ nano-scale materials specifically for such applications and in GARDS will provide maximum protection against small arms fire, fragmentation and shrapnel. G-Lam™ is also impervious to petroleum distillates and maintains performance at temperatures in excess of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. GARDS is available immediately for export to allied forces.

Save-A Gunner (SAG) Hummvee Turret
The S.A.G.™ Turret has been designed as a lightweight shielded turret for the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle ("HMMWV", commonly pronounced Hum-Vee). US Global is designing similar units for NATO and Coalition Forces vehicles including Land Rover and Unimog vehicles.
The S.A.G.™ Turret weighs less than 200 pounds and offers rapid rotational capability. Traditional armored turrets are far too heavy and impede a gunner's ability to effectively and rapidly rotate the turret during battle situations.
The S.A.G.™ Turret is approximately 4 feet in diameter, is designed to interface precisely with military HMMWV rotating turret rings and can be installed by two people in less than one hour using common hand tools.
The S.A.G.™ Turret, made primarily of USGN's proprietary G-Lam™ nano-fiber material, is designed to be impervious to petroleum distillates and to maintain performance at temperatures in excess of 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In one test using 7.62 cal ammunition, six successive strikes near the same spot did not penetrate the armor, outperforming ceramic faceplates in conventional composite systems. The S.A.G.™ Turret is available immediately for controlled export to allied countries with U.S. government approval.
The durability, strength and low weight of the S.A.G.™ Turret System comes from US Global Nanospace's G-Lam™ nano-fiber anti-ballistic material. G-Lam™ is created with a patent-pending computer-designed weaving process that results in a crimp-free material with tensile performance far superior to common anti-ballistic composite materials. US Global designs each G-Lam™ nano-scale weave to address specific threat characterizations.
This stuff will do to LOSAT what Interceptor vests do to 7.62mm x 39mm.
I'm beginning to have serious doubts that you understand the physics and engineering of armor/anti-armor systems. Does conservation of energy not apply to armor? G-Lam is for light armor, and as effective on a hyper-kinetic uranium penetrator as anything else because it still does not meet the material requirements to be effective. You can dance around the subject all you want, but until you can show me where all the extra energy goes to in the equation, your position is dubious at best.
I have a simple project for you. Compute how much energy is required to bore a hole through a meter of diamond (which can absorb FAR more energy than G-Lam) with a bore diameter of 1 centimeter. Then compute the total sectional energy of the LOSAT penetrator. This is all that matters; it is a simple contest of energy density. Like magical economics, magical physics is the domain of the liberals and has no business in military R&D.
Just because you don't want to believe it doesn't mean it isn't so. Do the math. If the energy density of the penetrator exceeds the (negative) energy density of the armor column, it will be breached. The energy densities are all that matter, it is apparent that you do not grok the amount of energy we are talking about with ultra-dense hyper-velocity darts, nor do you understand how material properties change when you enter that envelope. It has been a few years since I was involved in military R&D, but the laws of physics haven't changed since then.
