The VEE Window allows crews of HMMWVs to remove ballistic windshields in less than five seconds and quickly exit the vehicle during an emergency such as a rollover or accident.

The windows will be delivered to Army personnel in November, BAE says.

BAE is also exploring VEE Window applications for other tactical and armoured vehicles for use by the Army and the US Marine Corps.
