The Al₂O₃ Ceramic Ballistic Plates Level 4 Lightest Army are NIJ 0101.06 Level IV-certified hard armor plates engineered for military and high-risk operations. Constructed with 92%+ alumina ceramic strike faces and UHMWPE backers, they deliver stand-alone protection against armor-piercing rifle rounds (e.g., .30-06 AP M2) while maintaining a lightweight design (5.3–6.8 lbs / 2.4–3.1 kg for 10x12” plates) . Ideal for front-line troops, these plates balance ballistic integrity with mobility, featuring multi-curve ergonomics for improved fit and edge-to-edge coverage of vital organs.
Ballistic Performance: Certified to stop .30-06 AP M2 rounds (3,080 fps) and multiple hits from fragmentation, exceeding NIJ Level IV requirements .
Lightweight Construction: Utilize alumina ceramic composites to reduce weight by 20–30% compared to traditional steel plates, without compromising protection .
Modular Design: Compatible with SAPI/ESAPI cut carriers (e.g., Crye JPC 2.0, Shellback Banshee) and equipped with nylon/polyurea covers for water resistance .
Multi-Curve Geometry: Mimics body contours for enhanced comfort during prolonged wear, reducing fatigue in dynamic environments .
Durability: Tested for extreme temperatures (-20°C to 50°C) and drop resistance, ensuring reliability in harsh conditions .
Military Operations: Front-line combat, peacekeeping missions, and vehicle crews requiring Level IV protection against armor-piercing threats.
Law Enforcement: SWAT teams and tactical units responding to high-risk scenarios involving rifle fire.
Security Contractors: Executive protection details and high-threat environments where weight reduction is critical for mobility.
Personal Defense: Civilian use for emergency preparedness, compliant with state and federal regulations.
Q: What is the weight of a 10x12” plate?
A: 5.3–6.8 lbs (depending on thickness), significantly lighter than steel plates while offering equivalent protection .
Q: Are these plates multi-hit capable?
A: Yes, the tiled ceramic core design allows resistance to multiple impacts (e.g., 3–5 hits within the same area) .
Q: Do they require soft armor underneath?
A: No, these are stand-alone Level IV plates and do not need additional soft armor for rated threats .
Q: What warranty is included?
A: Most models come with a 5–10 year ballistic warranty, covering manufacturing defects and material failures .
