Point Blank to show latest body armor systems at NTOA

Among the latest solutions to be showcased, are the Advanced Warrior System (AWS), Federal Tactical Outer Carrier (FTOC) and SPEED Plates available under the company's PARACLETE brand. These solutions will be on display at PBE's booth (#535) in the exhibit hall from September 22-23 at the Kansas City Marriott Hotel and Convention Center. The general conference runs until September 27.

Specially designed for the mission-specific needs of law enforcement, federal and special ops officers, the Advanced Warrior System, Federal Tactical Outer Carrier and SPEED Plates incorporate the latest and greatest innovations in protective technology -- driven by rapidly changing threats which necessitate the continual evolution of tactical solutions to improve officer safety and survivability:

-The Advanced Warrior System (AWS) is a newly designed system that provides optimum coverage and -tremendous versatility in fit while allowing maximum freedom of movement. Ruggedly durable and designed to be highly adaptive, the AWS is incredibly modular in construction and offers the ideal combination of form, fit and function.

-The Federal Tactical Outer Carrier (FTOC) is a highly scalable, side-opening carrier which allows tactical units the flexibility to configure the body armor system to meet mission-specific needs. This includes the capability to reduce from higher to lower levels of protection, while enhancing mobility, agility and substantially improved range of motion for the wearer.

-SPEED Plates provide the ultimate in lightweight armor protection against "exotic" rounds. Designed to be worn in the chest pocket of concealable vests, these multi-curve SPEED plates are ultra-thin and highly effective in helping to minimize blunt force trauma against a variety of rounds.

"With an ever-growing need for specialized personal protection, our newest PARACLETE solutions are a result of PBE's ongoing investment in high-tech research and engineering capabilities, to ensure that the officers who put their lives on the line remain the best protected in the world," stated Michael Foreman, Vice President of Government and International Sales and head of Product Line Management at Point Blank Enterprises. "At PBE we strive to develop and deliver the best modular, scalable and adaptive body-armor systems to the market today. We continue to thoroughly test our products in the field to the most stringent certification requirements, and consistently surpass industry standards.
