Ballistic Armor Update: 2022


As of the beginning of July, the NIJ’s revised ballistic-resistant body armor standard 0101.07 is still awaiting implementation. Announced back in 2018, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) had planned to release a revised version of the current ballistic-resistant body armor standard in late 2020. Implementation was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, unnamed industry sources state that the new standard will be released to manufacturers in the fall of 2022.To get more news about green bulletproof vest, you can visit bulletproofboxs.com official website.

New Book Now Available
Jake Ganor, CEO of Adept Armor, has recently published a book providing a comprehensive understanding of how armor plates are designed, the materials used, performance characteristics, ballistic testing protocols, and what’s in the near future for body armor.
Available on Amazon, Body Armor and Light Ballistic Armor Materials and Systems helps readers better understand the materials and science behind ballistic body armor systems. It gives a general overview of today’s offerings, as well as providing a history of body armor in the modern era.

The initial chapters review the main types of body armor offered today. Subsequent chapters dive deeper into body armor materials, properties, histories, uses, and what the future holds. The third section reviews the combat helmet and its history. The final section includes appendices providing the reader with supplemental statistical, technical and terminological information, including a comprehensive glossary.

NIJ Body Armor Poster
The National Institute of Justice has recently created a poster which provides critical information concerning the care of law enforcement body armor, including where to check for NIJ compliance certification and essential pointers for the proper upkeep of body armor.

The new Scalable Plate Rack (SPR) from PROJECT7 ARMOR is purpose-built to provide scalability from a plate rack to an entry vest and configurability allowing you to change your loadout to fit your mission. Scalability refers to the ability to add optional soft ballistics to the SPR platform, “scaling” it either up or down. Configurability refers to the ability to “configure” various features of the SPR to the end-user’s preference.

Configurable features include: a Loadout System, In-Cummerbund Adaptive Pouch and Lining. The SPR is designed for special operations personnel who have a broad range of missions including high-speed dynamic entries, linear assaults, vertical access work, and rural operations.
Adept Armor
Adept Armor has recently introduced the Colossus™ armor plate which offers protective capabilities beyond Level IV or RF3 plates. The Colossus utilizes advanced materials to produce the strongest plate in its category, yet weighs significantly less than the average Level IV or RF3 plate at just over six pounds (in the Shooter’s Cut), and is only 1.13″ in thickness.

The Colossus was built and tested to VPAM 12 with a ballistic rating for 7.62x51mm Swiss P AP (tungsten core) at 810 m/s. VPAM is the European standard for testing and measurement of ballistic materials and products. Additionally, the Colossus is also rated for: VPAM 11 – 7.62x51mm M993 (tungsten core) at 940 m/s; Level IV (RF3) – .30-06 AP M2 at 880 m/s; and special threats such as the 5.56x45mm M995 at 1000 m/s (along with similar and lesser threats).The Colossus is available in a variety of configurations and offers edge-to-edge protection.
