Point Blank launches Alpha Elite Series ballistic system

Point Blank Enterprises has launched Alpha Elite Series ballistic system at the 120th Annual International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference, being held in the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, US.

The Alpha Elite Series uses Dyneema Force Multiplier Technology developed by DSM Dyneema, and has been designed to meet and exceed the requirements for special operations, military and law enforcement personnel.

Point Blank Enterprises government and international sales vice president and Product Line Management head Michael Foreman said the Alpha Elite AXIIIA ballistic package has exceeded all performance requirements, including tests for maximum velocity approaching or exceeding 2,000 fps, during independent testing.

"Test-lab personnel stated that they had never seen this level of performance in a package of this weight and thinness during any other testing of soft armor ballistic solutions," Foreman added.

Designed to defeat high-velocity handgun rounds and fragmentation with minimal backface-deformation, the Alpha Elite Series ballistic system provides superior multi-hit protection.

Point Blank Enterprises marketing and product development director Michael Haynes said, "Our engineers determined that the very best ballistic material for our Armed Forces was also the very best material for law-enforcement officers in the U.S. and around the world."

The Alpha Elite Series system is extremely high effectiveness against fragmentation, provides multi-hit performance exceeding FBI protocol and special-threat performance exceeding FBI protocol.

Additionally, the system features extraordinarily efficient absorption of impact energy and is NIJ Standard 0101.06 compliant.
DSM Dyneema life protection global business director Shitij Chabba said, "The material’s light weight and flexibility result in comfort and mobility that are as revolutionary as the ballistic performance."
