Tacticon Armament's SRT+ (Special Rifle Threat) is a lightweight armor composed of ceramic and UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), weighing just 4.1 lbs. The SRT+ armor is designed to address predominant threats not tested by the NIJ .06 standard. This armor focuses on keeping your loadout light while providing protection against common rifle rounds such as the 5.56 M193/M855 (standard AR-15 round) and the 7.62x39 (AK-47 round). The armor has been tested to withstand six shots from either the M193, M855, or 7.62x39, while maintaining trauma within a safe range. This plate is a standalone unit, requiring no additional components for trauma mitigation.
Our body armor is engineered for maximum protection, delivering exceptional comfort and a lightweight feel. Constructed from top-quality materials, this armor offers excellent defense against bullets and other ballistic threats. The adjustable straps allow for a perfect fit, and the reinforced design ensures durability and lasting wear. With its sleek design, our body armor is not only practical but also visually appealing.
Why is it an SRT and not Level III?
The NIJ .06 definition for Level III plate testing parameters requires six shots of 7.62x51 (M80) with less than 44mm of back face signature on the first two shots and zero penetrations on the last four. We designed the SRT+ to address the more common threats of 5.56 and 7.62x39. Typically, a Level III plate is thicker and heavier to stop the excessive trauma created by the 147-grain 7.62x51 round. By focusing on "special rifle threats" not tested by the NIJ (5.56/7.62x39), we can create a lighter and thinner plate. Additionally, some Level III plates may be penetrated by the M855 62-grain Green Tip, which the NIJ does not test for.
Will it stop a 7.62x51 (M80)?
Yes, it will stop the round with zero penetration. However, since the trauma may exceed the safety limit of 44mm, we do not advertise it as such.
Is it multi-hit?
Yes, it is designed to effectively withstand six shots of M193 and 7.62x39 MSC while maintaining trauma within the acceptable range of under 44mm.
What is the "+"?
In our application, the "+" indicates that the plate can also stop the M855 62-grain Green Tip.
