PROTECTIVE PRODUCTS’ Futuristic Body Armor
One of the most head-turning displays at IACP this year was the Protective Products booth.
They featured futuristic body armor tailored for LE or military applications. The armor is flexible with accessories that protect extremities as well as the core. Also in the works is a flexible ballistic panel that can be used as a shield, cover wounded counterparts, protect a vehicle’s windshield, etc. They are also an authorized supplier for ballistic doors used by Ford Motor Company.

Cool Armor design, but will it stop a 50 cal. sniper round or any type of high cal. assault rifle round? If it is futuristic it should be lightweight, capable of stopping a 50 cal. bullet, capable of changing the wearers body temperature to suit him/her best in any climate environment, Bio/chem protection, comm’s unit, a decice capable of making armor blend with any environment a.k.a Camillion Armor, water compartment, liquid food compartment, piss flap so that you don’t have to take the whole suit off to take a piss, 4th generation night vision built into the mask, thermal vision, bino vision capable of zooming and perfecting vision from a distance, bomb and water proof. If it truly is useful, any crazy soldier like me wearing this armor should have no probem running into enemy fire and staring the enemy in the eye and slitting his throat without being injured or killed. But then again if the enemy got a hold of this kind of technology we would be in deep shit.

The concept illustrates articulating plate armor which extends onto the should/biceps and forearms. High speed low drag non ceramic construction… it is not in production but it is not that far out. The chest and back have icreased coverage compared to the industry standard ’shooters cut’ ceramic plate. Hope it intrigues and inspires

Hey J. Anthony, this is a conceptual design, ever been to a car show where they have concept cars that don’t actually work? This is a glimpse into what armor may look like in the future.

Looks interesting. I wish they’d stop using black for armor stuff though. In Pics you can’t tell where the clothing is and where the armor is. Since it all blends together it looks like it’s one piece. It might be, but using a diff color (like OD or coyote) might help it stand out.

Body armor lok’s GREAT, (IF?) you can move it? Is it “Jmp-able”? Is it TOTAL Body Armour, or are their “BLANK-SPOT’s”? What the weight? And what about “climate” control, e.g. going from the Artic to the Sub-Sahal or a Jungle Envoriment? Is their a “BIO/CHEM” protection to it?
What is the “LEVEL of the Armour, IVA; composition? Will it “crumble, i.e. like ceramic, or Maintain the Level? Is it a 1 piece overal? What other enviromental, e.g. rain, snow, sun etc?
Is there a “Comm’s” unit intergral to it?
Death to AQ/T!
