The assault body armor component of the assault vest system (AVS) exceeds the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Standards for Type IIIA and provides protection from multiple impacts of steel-jacketed 9mm, 123 gr. rounds traveling at 1445 fps and all lesser threats. The assault body armor is designed for use with the assault load bearing vest.

Component

The assault body armor consists of

1. the body armor ballistic panel,
2. the body armor outershell,
3. the groin protector ballistic panel, and
4. the groin protector outershell.

The ballistic panels are contained in a waterproof nylon carrier that may be removed for inspection and cleaning. The outershell material is olive drab, 1000 denier Cordura nylon that resists abrasion and water absorption. The body armor ballistic panel and outershell are available in eight sizes. The groin protector ballistic panel and outershell are one-size-fits-all. One each of the items above is provided with each AVS.
