Sunday, October 8th, 2017

MIB²S SUCCESSFULLY DEFEATS 50 CALIBER ARMOR PIERCING INCENDIARY TRACER

Alpharetta, Ga. — KF Armory, LLC is proud to present the Modular Interlocking Ballistic Barrier System known as MIB²S at the 2017 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, DC on 9-11 October 2017. Through innovative design and purposeful development, the MIB²S successfully defeats up to 50 caliber armor piercing incendiary tracer (API-T) ammunition while incorporating easy assembly, disassembly, and extreme durability. The MIB²S is the ideal solution for creating a rapidly deployable and re-deployable ballistic barrier system for military and law enforcement operations, training, and safety requirements. The objective of MIB²S is to provide a highly effective protective barrier for personnel, equipment, buildings, and other critical infrastructure in unlimited applications.

The MIB²S is specifically designed to protect against ballistic projectiles and withstand conventional and improvised explosive devices. The MIB²S absorbs the projectiles and the resulting increase in density amplifies the protective nature of the system. The MIB²S is easily assembled in the field without the need for special tools or formal instruction. The MIB²S are available in three threat ratings: Handgun Block rated for NIJ 0108.01 Threat Level IIIA; Rifle Block rated for NIJ 0108.01 Threat Level IV and UL 752 Level 9; and 50 Caliber Block rated for NIJ 0108.01 Threat Level IV+ Special Threat 50 Caliber API-T and UL 752 Level 10. The MIB²S are also available in custom threat levels and a variety of colors to meet specific mission requirements.

Military and law enforcement now have a Modular Interlocking Ballistic Barrier System advantage, greatly increasing their ability to safely operate in hazardous environments. If you are attending the 2017 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition, please stop by Booth #2753 to learn more about MIB²S.

Wednesday, September 13th, 2017

In collaboration with the US Air Force, Revision has been working on a vest for Joint Terminal Attack Vest. In particular, they’re concentrating on a baseline which Airmen can customize, based on individual needs. The base armor vest is a modified Crye Precision AVS and Revision is working on the power and data management. One of example of what you’ll see is a series of apps to control the various components and human interface.

Additionally, Revision ran me through their work on the next generation of headborne systems through the introduction of Sensys. Look for additional details soon.

PPSS Group – New Emergency Body Armour Will Help Protect Civilians

Thursday, September 7th, 2017

Designed for individual protection, a new rapidly deployable ‘Emergency Body Armour™’ is offering the latest in globally respected and field-tested body armour technology, displaying truly outstanding protection from edged weapon, such as machetes and knives.

Following a number of well documented knife attacks on civilians in recent years, PPSS Group started a comprehensive R&D project with the aim to design a ultra-lightweight body armour that can be strategically located in public places and deployed within a very few seconds, in case of emergency.

The UK firm is now making this new ‘Emergency Body Armour’ available to airports, train stations, hospitals, city centre hotels, and other key locations civilians may flee to and seek shelter when faced by a suddenly occurring threat.

According to the company behind this concept, this latest ‘Emergency Body Armour’ also offers unmatched protection from blunt force trauma injuries, usually suffered following an assault by a blunt object.

A top healthcare security specialist in Britain wished to remain anonymous, but commented: “To have something small, compact and lightweight stashed away or strategically placed that you could pull out and throw on, would make a huge difference between a potential life and death situation.”

Robert Kaiser, CEO of PPSS Group strongly agrees with this statement. Presenting at yesterday’s global product launch at London’s Hilton Canary Wharf Hotel he said: “An Emergency Body Armour makes sense, and it will help to protect human lives and reduce the number of casualties when a serious threat occurs.”

Following the issuing of body armour to all Police Forces in the UK in the 90s, many hospital and university security teams have now equipped their teams with stab resistant vests since. The same can be said for several public sector enforcement teams, such as Trading Standards, Licensing, Community Safety, Environmental Health and Car Parking Enforcement.
