The Soldier in the center is wearing a ballistic helmet and a ballistic vest. Notice that his upper arms, elbows, hips, upper legs and knees are totally exposed to fragments produced by high explosive weapons. Converting the ACU to the BCU would give Soldiers and their Commanders the ability to quickly modify their overall ballistic protection based on mission requirements. The Soldiers on the left are also wearing ballistic head and torso protection along with elbow and knee pads that are made of non-ballistic material. TACARM also offers strap-on Ballistic Elbow and Knee Guards. Order below.

Threat Level Information

The US Government certifies different protective equipment such as the Outer Tactical Vest, the Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI), and the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) based on numerous characteristics to include the speed and mass of a bullet, fragment, or projectile that they are designed to stop.

Threat Level IIA: Protects against a projectile or fragment with similar ballistic qualities as a 9mm round weighing 124 grains and traveling around 1,100 ft/s and a .357 Magnum round weighing 158 grains and impacting the protective devise at around 1,250 ft/s.

Threat Level II: Protects against a projectile or fragment with similar ballistic qualities as a 9mm round weighing 124 grains and traveling around 1,175 ft/s and a .357 Magnum round weighing 158 grains and with a velocity of around 1,400 ft/s. The original Kevlar helmet that the Army began issuing in the early 1980s provides a similar level of protection. The type and size of rounds in Threat Level II A and II have remained the same but the speed at which they move has increased. The original US Kevlar helmet has this rating.

Threat Level IIIA:  Protects against a projectile or fragment with similar ballistic qualities as a 9mm round weighing 124 grains and traveling around 1,400 ft/s and a .44 Magnum round weighing 240 grains and with a velocity of around 1,400 ft/s. The Outer Tactical Vest of the IBA and the Advanced Combat Helmet fall in this range of protection. After this Threat Level, current body armor technology requires the use of hard material such as metal or ceramics. The current issue Advanced Combat Helmet and the Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) provide a similar level of protection.

Ballistic Knee Guards TM and Ballistic Elbow Guards TM

 

 

 

 

 

- Makes all current design knee and elbow pads being used my military and law enforcement personnel obsolete.

- Will reduce the number of Americans being wounded and killed by high velocity fragments and projectiles. Will also reduce laceration injuries to the knee and elbows during vehicular and aircraft accidents.   

- Level II protection provides penetration resistance similar to the original Kevlar helmet.                              

- Patent Pending since 2005.

- The foam inserts of the Alta elbow and knees pads have been replaced with multiple layers of Kevlar

- They are more comfortable as the Kevlar insert is more flexible than the non-ballistic foam insert.    

- Submitted to the Soldier Enhancement Program and are currently being tested by the US Army. The July 7th edition of the Army Times has an article on these (page 8).
