from small arms to X-type threats. The low profile, high-performance, covert personal panels are suitable for products at all levels of protection and sophistication. The panels are tailor-made to meet customer requirements and specific threats, all at a competitive price.
Technology overview and capabilities
Based on a unique patented ceramic thermal arresting technology and process to create pre-stressed ceramic plates with improved impact resistance. The thinner and lighter ceramic plate offers significant reduction in size and weight, increasing wearability and comfort and reducing weight burden and fatigue, while providing a high level of reliable protection with reduced physical trauma upon impact.

Revolutionizing Ballistic Defense with FortWear
FortWear personal ballistic panels are up to 30% lighter and 50% thinner than standard panels on the market, using the same COTS materials.
FortWear panels provide high multi-hit capability. The panels can stop more bullets at shorter- distances and prevent fatal hits.
The compressed ceramic plate is exceptionally durable, offering enhanced protection against cracks from drops and accidental hits, resulting in longer life cycle of the plates and reduced ILS cost.
The materials used to create the compression stress significantly reduce front spall and debris angle.
