Introducing the Advanced Ballistic Shield™ (ABS) — a groundbreaking leap in protective gear, purpose-built for first responders and modern tactical operations. Engineered for rifle resistance and forward mobility, the ABS is setting new benchmarks in performance, durability, and design. Developed from the ground up by Sgt. James Boydd (Ret. CPD, CA) with a patent-pending exo-frame design, this next-generation suspension system delivers unmatched functionality for first responders, tactical teams, and military units.

​

What truly distinguishes the  Advanced Ballistic Shield™ is its revolutionary method of shield suspension. This distinctive open-frame design features two perforated front and rear frame panels that are externally fastened along the perimeter of the ballistic resistant core. This creates a unified three-piece structure without the need for drilled armor holes, weight bearing fabric-based suspension, or enclosure systems.

​

Designed for dynamic environments, the ABS is ideal for portable use in urban settings, combat zones, confined spaces, rubble-filled areas, trenches, maritime operations, tunnel warfare and may provide limited defense or coverage against small profile FPV asymmetric fragmentation weapon threats. Its compact yet robust construction offers optimal maneuverability without compromising protection. Available in both RF1 and RF2 rifle-rated ballistic protection levels, the ABS strikes the perfect balance between weight, coverage, and agility.

​

Proudly made in the U.S.A., the ABS is crafted using high-quality, lightweight domestic materials and components. Unlike many competitors that rely on imported armor or foreign-sourced materials often from geopolitical adversaries, the ABS ensures complete supply chain control, consistent quality, and full compliance with true U.S. origin standards.

​

The modularity of the exo-frame allows for the easy integration of accessories and the replacement of individual components delivering long-term cost savings without sacrificing performance. The newly developed ABS is redefining how protective gear should feel and function in the field.
