NIJ STANDARDS

NIJ Level IIIA is designed to stop .357 Sig FMG FN bullets traveling at a velocity of ~1470 ft/s and .44 Magnum SJHP rounds at a velocity of ~1430 ft/s. The updates for 0101.07 HG2 include testing requirements for 9mm FMJ with a velocity of ~1470 ft/s and changed the .44 MAG test to a JHP (jacketed hollow point) with the same velocity requirements.

NIJ Level III rifle plates are designed to stop six spaced hits of 7.62x51mm NATO FMJ M80 at a velocity of ~2780 ft/s. Level III+ is a designation that the industry has adopted to show the capabilities of armour beyond the NIJ Level III testing. This indicates that the plate can withstand higher velocity rounds plus additional threats such as M855 and M193. The NIJ intends to address this in establishing the RF2 category of the 0101.07 standard.

NIJ Level IV are the highest rated armour plates under the NIJ standards. They are designed to take one hit from an Armour Piercing 30.06 traveling at a velocity of 2880 ft/s. This test will remain the same for the 0101.07 standard.

Strategic Armour Solutions offers a high-quality SAPI (Small Arms Protective Insert) armour plate designed for personal protection. This armour plate is made using a combination of UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) and ALO (Aluminium Oxide) materials, which provide exceptional ballistic resistance.

The SAPI armour plate is available in two sizes: 250mm x 300mm and 280mm x 360mm. These sizes are designed to fit standard plate carriers and provide coverage to vital areas of the body.

The armour plate has been rigorously tested and certified by independent authorities to meet the standards set by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and SANS 1658:2007. This ensures that the plate offers reliable protection against various ballistic threats commonly encountered in law enforcement, military, and security applications.

The use of UHMWPE and ALO materials in the construction of the armour plate provides several advantages. UHMWPE is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, offering excellent protection while keeping the overall weight of the plate relatively low. ALO, on the other hand, is a ceramic material that enhances the plate's hardness and resistance to penetration.

The combination of these materials results in a lightweight and durable armour plate that can effectively stop projectiles, such as bullets, and mitigate the potential damage caused by ballistic threats.

Overall, Strategic Armour Solutions' SAPI armour plate made of UHMWPE and ALO is a reliable and certified option for individuals or organizations seeking enhanced personal protection against ballistic threats. Its rigorous testing and use of advanced materials ensure that it meets the highest standards of performance and safety.
