Now in service in Australia are the first EOD Tactical lightweight blast protection suits.
This ensemble is an integral part of Allen-Vanguard’s solutions for protecting law enforcement and military personnel.
The EOD Tactical Suit provides frontline counter-terrorist personnel with blast and fragmentation protection in a lightweight ensemble covering the torso and extremities. As a scalable modular system, its components can be selectively donned to meet a variety of operational requirements and threats faced during breaching, explosives search, dog handling and numerous military applications.
Its design provides significantly greater coverage than conventional body armour while retaining the mobility essential to operating in hostile environments. The system has been tested against blast, fragmentation and impact and offers a combination of modularity, scalable mulit-threat and multi-purpose protection.
The EOD Tactical is worn in conjunction with a user’s bullet resistant vest to supplement its protection against blast and fragmentation. For continuous facial protection, Allen-Vanguard’s Visor System can be attached to most tactical and military helmets and integrates with the Suit’s chest plate.
