Designed to pair with IIIA-rated vests, this ballistic plate upgrades handgun defense to rifle protection—blending tough alumina ceramic, lightweight UHMWPE, and durable fabric for professionals in medium-risk scenarios.
The A-3E250300IIIA isn’t just an add-on—it’s a smart way to boost your existing IIIA vest’s protection. It combines alumina ceramic (for stopping rifle rounds) and UHMWPE (for keeping weight down) to meet NIJ 0101.06 Level III standards when used with a IIIA vest (it can’t work alone). Whether you’re patrolling city streets, guarding a commercial site, or supporting military ops in medium-threat zones, it hits a sweet spot between defense, portability, and all-day comfort—no bulky, fatiguing gear here.
Alumina Ceramic: Hard enough to block common rifle rounds—think 7.62x51mm M80 NATO or AK47’s 7.62x39mm MSC. It soaks up and scatters the bullet’s kinetic energy, stopping penetration cold.
UHMWPE: Cuts down on weight (way lighter than all-ceramic plates) while adding flexibility. You can wear it for 8+ hour patrols or crowd control shifts without feeling drained—critical for jobs that demand constant movement.
The outer 600D black Oxford fabric isn’t just for looks. It’s water-resistant (no seepage in rain, so the core stays dry) and flame-retardant (safe near hot spots or open flames). Plus, it’s abrasion-proof—scratches from tactical gear or dusty industrial sites won’t damage the ceramic or UHMWPE inside. It keeps the plate working reliably even in tough environments.
Its single-curve shape hugs the general contour of your chest or back, so it slides easily into most standard IIIA-rated tactical vests. No awkward gaps, no restricted movement—you can kneel, reach, or move quickly during dynamic ops, or stand stationary for hours guarding a site, all without discomfort.
ICW Upgrade Power: When paired with a IIIA vest, it jumps from stopping handguns (9mm, .44 Magnum) to blocking rifles—filling the gap for medium threats where standalone Level III plates are overkill.
Proven Reliability: Tested rigorously at 15 meters (the distance most real-world rifle engagements happen) to reliably stop:
7.62x51mm M80 NATO (standard military rifle ammo)
7.62x39mm AK47 MSC (one of the most widely used assault rifle rounds)
5.56x45mm M193/SS109 (common for M16/AR-15 carbines)
Consistent Defense: The alumina ceramic’s uniform density and UHMWPE’s shock absorption mean it won’t fail unexpectedly—critical when you need protection to hold.
This plate is made for professionals who need to step up their defense without sacrificing mobility:
Law Enforcement: Perfect for patrol officers, crowd control teams, or routine security duties—adds rifle protection without slowing you down.
Private Security: Ideal for guarding commercial sites (malls, warehouses) or event security (concerts, sports games) where medium threats exist.
Military Support Staff: Great for non-combat roles in medium-threat zones—keeps you safe without the bulk of frontline armor.
Civilian Contractors: Suitable for work in regions with moderate ballistic risks, where a IIIA vest alone isn’t enough.
