CASTLE12 RF3 SiC ballistic plate pair in 25 \u00d7 30 and 24 \u00d7 32 cm. Stand-alone armor tested to NIJ 0101.07 \/ 0123.00 RF3 conditions against .30-06 M2 AP.<\/p>\n

RF3 Protection with SiC Ceramic Composite Construction<\/h2>\n

The CASTLE12 RF3 SiC Ceramic Ballistic Plate combines a silicon carbide ceramic strike face with a polyethylene composite backing to provide protection against high-level rifle threats.
\nThe plate is configured as stand-alone armor. In the tested configuration, no separate soft armor backer is required to provide the stated ballistic performance.
\nTwo plate sizes are available\u201425 \u00d7 30 cm and 24 \u00d7 32 cm\u2014allowing the user to select a configuration based on body proportions, plate-carrier pocket dimensions and operational requirements.
\nThis product is sold as a pair.<\/p>\n

Ballistic Test Information<\/h2>\n

Test Laboratory: Element U.S. Space & Defense
\nTest Method: NIJ Standard 0101.07
\nThreat Level: NIJ Standard 0123.00 RF3
\nTest Threat: .30-06 M2 AP, 7.62 \u00d7 63 mm, nominal 166-grain
\nTest Velocity: 2,850\u20132,910 ft\/s, approximately 869\u2013887 m\/s
\nTest Result: No complete penetration; backface deformation did not exceed 44 mm
\nArmor Configuration: Stand-Alone (SA)
\nNIJ Standard 0101.07 establishes the performance requirements and test methods for ballistic-resistant body armor, while NIJ Standard 0123.00 defines the RF3 protection level and its associated test threat.<\/p>\n

Materials and Construction<\/h2>\n

Strike Face: Silicon carbide ceramic, SiC
\nBacking Material: Polyethylene composite
\nArmor Configuration: Stand-Alone
\nPlate Type: Curved hard armor plate
\nAvailable Colors: Black and OD Green
\nThe SiC ceramic strike face is designed to disrupt the projectile and disperse high-velocity impact energy. The polyethylene composite backing then absorbs and distributes the remaining energy as part of the complete hard armor system.<\/p>\n

Selecting the Correct Plate Size<\/h2>\n

Select the plate according to the user\u2019s torso dimensions and the internal dimensions of the plate-carrier pocket.
\nBefore ordering, confirm that the carrier is compatible with both the selected plate dimensions and the approximately 30 mm plate thickness. Carrier size labels alone do not guarantee compatibility.<\/p>\n
