Spartan Armor Systems AR550 Level III+ Body Armor Single Plate Single Curve Base Coat Black 10x12 X 12 SH SC BC. Because of this enhancement our AR550 level III+ body armor offers operators advanced rifle-rated threat protection and has been special threat validated in an independent NIJ credentialed laboratory. For added peace of mind every plate of armor sold by Spartan Armor Systems is serialized allowing it to be easily tracked back to the original plate of steel it was cut from should there be any question as to its ballistic properties. Battle Hardened Our AR550 armor hits the sweet spotin in the Brinell Hardness (BHN) range. With a core hardness of approximately 545-560 BHN we have found that the ballistically rated variant of AR550 that we use when manufacturing our AR550 armor is perfect for defeating higher velocity threats while not exposing the armor plate to extreme stress due to forming. Our AR550 Level III+ armor has our GEN2 lower cut radius its much harder than AR500 but not so hard that it risks incurring severe stress while undergoing the formation process. Laser Cut to Protect Ballistic Integrity All steel core body armor is cut and shaped after the ballistic properties have been formulated within the steel. While other steel body armor manufacturers commonly use plasma torch cutting that applies excessive heat (25000 degrees/ 45000 degrees) to a wide portion of the steel plate Spartan Armor Systems only utilizes laser cutting in order to protect the ballistic integrity of each steel core body armor plate we manufacture. Plasma cutting also requires grinding to clean up the edges after the fact resulting in increased heat and possible fatigue. At Spartan Armor Systems we maintain the highest production integrity and quality standards every step of the way for our customers because we know what is at stake. IMPORTANT NOTE: The base coat option only provides protection against corrosion and offers little to no fragmentation/spall mitigation. Should you choose to select base coat plates please consider adding our Spall Containment Sleeve (sold separately) as a means of fragmentation mitigation.
