HighCom Security Announces Two New NIJ 0101.06 Certified Compliant
Models
CLEARWATER, FL--(Marketwired - Apr 4, 2014) - HighCom Security,
Inc., a leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of USA
made hard body armor and related personal protective solutions,
today announced the addition of two new hard armor models to their
ballistic product line, receiving NIJ compliance status through the
National Institute of Justice's Compliance Testing Program (NIJ
CTP). The NIJ CTP standard is the only nationally accepted standard
for the body armor worn by law enforcement and corrections
officers. HighCom is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BlastGard
International, Inc. (OTCQB: BLGA).
HighCom's Guardian Series Hard Armor™ product line now includes
two new NIJ 0101.06 certified models, the Guardian 4S17™ and the
Guardian 3S9™. Built to exceed industry standards at affordable
prices, these inserts are designed according to the NIJ ratings for
Level IV (4S17) and Level III (3S9), offering law enforcement and
military personnel different options for up armor requirements
whether concerned about armor piercing threats or high powered
rifle threats. NIJ introduced the Ballistic Resistance of Body
Armor NIJ Standard-0101.06 to more effectively defend against
increased velocities of ammunition calibers and provide improved
performance against the threats law enforcement faces in today's
world. "During this process we were able to test the boundaries of
performance and weight while reducing the cost to law enforcement.
Many companies are coming out with what they claim to be the next
generation of armor while only slightly reducing weight or
improving performance but the prices continue to go up. HighCom
solutions prove manufacturers can effectively reduce weight,
increase performance, and significantly reduce costs," said Michael
Bundy, President of HighCom Security.
Chad Wright, Vice President of Manufacturing said,
"Incorporating new development criteria, we were a little skeptical
after the tremendous success of past Guardian models, such as the
Guardian 4SAS-7™ which is still one of our top selling hard armor
models. However, since the completion of our internal advanced
R&D and ballistic laboratory in October of 2013, we have
expanded our R&D pipeline and accelerated our validation
stages. As a result, HighCom's new design model platform will
generate several next generation solutions to improve the
life-protecting equipment being used by law enforcement today."
These models are commercially available and will be sold through
HighCom's global distribution network to Law Enforcement, Federal,
Military and Special Ops personnel seeking the most advanced and
best performing hard armor protection. These inserts will also be
available with all HighCom solutions worldwide, both direct and via
the Company's General Services Administration ("GSA") schedule.
