A door seal assembly for an armored vehicle includes a first flange extending around the periphery of a door panel and protruding from a cab-facing side thereof. The first flange extends toward the exterior surface of the armored vehicle when the door panel is in a secured-closed condition. A second flange also protrudes from the cab-facing side of the door panel and extends into the opening of the armored vehicle when the door panel is in the secured-closed condition. The second flange being nested within the first flange and spaced-apart therefrom so as to form a channel between the first flange and the second flange and extending around the door panel along the cab-facing side thereof. A third flange protrudes from the exterior surface of the armored vehicle and extends about the opening thereof. The third flange is received within the channel that is defined between the first flange and the second flange when the door panel is in the secured-closed condition. During use, a blast wave resulting from a detonation beside the armored vehicle is redirected plural times as it passes by the first, second and third flanges before entering the cab interior.
A door seal assembly for retaining a door panel of an armored vehicle in a secured-closed condition, the armored vehicle having an opening for providing access to a cab portion thereof and the door panel being hingedly mounted so as to be operable between the secured-closed condition and an unsecured-opened condition, the door panel being sized larger than the opening such that the periphery of the door panel overlaps a portion of the exterior surface of the armored vehicle about the opening when the door panel is in the secured-closed condition, the door seal assembly comprising:
