The armor consists of Mil-Spec steel capable of withstanding multi-hit threats such as 7.62 AP and .50 Cal BMG, with reinforced ceilings and floors for blast protection and ballistic glass that maintains visibility even after multiple hits. Founded in 1981, the privately held, family-owned company has produced more than 7,000 armored vehicles that are in service with over 1,250 state and federal agencies across all 50 states. In 2025, Lenco showcased its BearCat G2 at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference in Denver, illustrating its ongoing focus on multi-mission capability.
