HighCom Guardian 4SAS7 Level IV Stand Alone Hard Armor Plate - Institutional Rifle Threat Defense
Law enforcement agencies, military units, and security procurement officers require dependable hard body armor capable of defeating high-velocity armor-piercing rifle threats. In active shooter and high-risk operational scenarios, operators face armor-penetrating ammunition such as .30 caliber M2 AP and 5.56mm M855 rounds. Standard soft body armor and lower-rated hard plates fail to stop these heavy ballistic threats, exposing personnel to critical trauma.
The HighCom Guardian 4SAS7 addresses these operational vulnerabilities by delivering NIJ 0101.04 (2005IR) certified Level IV stand-alone ballistic protection. Constructed with a high-density ceramic strike face and composite polyethylene backing, the 4SAS7 breaks down incoming armor-piercing projectiles upon impact and dissipates kinetic energy across the plate. Its stand-alone design eliminates the operational requirement for secondary soft armor inserts, streamlining equipment configurations for duty officers and tactical teams.
Key Benefits:
- Certified Level IV Protection: Officially listed and certified compliant under NIJ Standard 0101.04 (2005IR) to defeat .30 caliber M2 armor-piercing threats.
- Stand-Alone Functionality: Eliminates the need for backing soft armor panels, reducing total vest weight, complexity, and deployment setup time.
- Validated Special Threat Defense: Thoroughly tested to defeat DEA 2017 hard armor protocol threats, including 5.56mm M855 green tip, 7.62x39mm MSC, and 7.62mm M80 rounds.
- Resilient Exterior Coating: Enclosed in a heavy-duty 1000D CORDURA textured nylon outer cover to protect internal ballistic layers from environmental wear and tear.
- Versatile Cut Configurations: Offered in SAPI, Shooter, Swimmer, and Full cuts to match operational mobility demands and carrier plate pocket dimensions.
- Ergonomic Fit Options: Available in single-curve and multi-curve contours to optimize load distribution and anatomical comfort during extended shifts.
- Comprehensive Warranty Coverage: Backed by a 5-year warranty on all ballistic strike face materials and a 1-year warranty on exterior cover construction.
