Mission Ready Services has shipped the company’s tactical police shirt to a unidentified local SWAT unit in the U.S. under a contract awarded to its subsidiary Protect The Force.
The Flex9Armor police shirt consists of garments that provide ballistic protection and integrates a network of NIJ Level II and IIIA body armor panels into an anti-microbial material, Mission Ready Services said Wednesday.
The Defense Department announced PTF on Oct. 27 as a recipient of approximately $110,000 in services from the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service’s product development center to commercialize Flex9Armor under DoD’s Defense to Response Technology Program.
Mission Ready Services also received a foreign military order for additional Flex9Armor units as other Europe-based NATO countries currently evaluate the product for potential order.
PTF unveiled this week a variant of the Flex9Armor called Flex9Spike that is built for federal, state and local correctional facilities.
