CASTLE12 RF2+ SPECIAL THREAT BALLISTIC PLATE<\/h2>\n

BEYOND THE RF2 BASELINE<\/p>\n

The CASTLE12 RF2+ is a stand-alone ceramic-composite ballistic plate developed for law-enforcement, military, security and high-risk operational applications.<\/p>\n

The protection platform is based on the NIJ 0101.07 test framework and the NIJ 0123.00 RF2 threat set, which includes:<\/p>\n

7.62\u00d751 mm M80 Ball<\/p>\n

7.62\u00d739 mm mild steel core ammunition<\/p>\n

5.56\u00d745 mm M193<\/p>\n

5.56\u00d745 mm M855<\/p>\n

Beyond the RF2 baseline threats, the tested plate configuration has undergone additional independent laboratory testing against M855A1 and M80A1 enhanced rifle threats.<\/p>\n

The stated results apply to the specific plate model, construction, dimensions and laboratory test conditions represented by the corresponding test documentation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

STAND-ALONE CERAMIC-COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION<\/h2>\n

The plate combines a silicon carbide ceramic strike face with a UHMWPE composite backing to provide rifle-threat protection in a stand-alone configuration.<\/p>\n

Stand-alone performance means that the stated ballistic protection does not depend on an additional soft armor backer. The plate may be installed directly into a compatible plate carrier, subject to the carrier manufacturer\u2019s dimensional requirements.<\/p>\n

Compound Curve Configuration<\/h2>\n

The multi-curve profile is shaped to follow the contours of the torso, supporting a closer and more stable fit during prolonged wear and dynamic movement.<\/p>\n

Dimensions: 250 \u00d7 300 \u00d7 28 mm<\/p>\n

Approximate dimensions: 9.84 \u00d7 11.81 \u00d7 1.10 in<\/p>\n

Weight: approximately 2.4 kg per plate<\/p>\n

Pair weight: approximately 4.8 kg<\/p>\n

RF2+ DESIGNATION<\/h2>\n

RF2+ is a CASTLE12 product-series designation used to identify models with additional special-threat testing beyond the NIJ RF2 baseline threat set. RF2+ is not an official NIJ protection-level designation; the applicable official NIJ level remains RF2.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT BALLISTIC NOTICE<\/h2>\n

Ballistic performance applies only to the tested model, construction, dimensions and test conditions. Actual performance may vary according to ammunition type, projectile construction, impact velocity, distance, angle of incidence, shot placement, plate condition and environmental exposure.<\/p>\n

Any plate subjected to ballistic impact, severe physical impact, deformation, moisture intrusion or visible external damage must be removed from service and professionally inspected or replaced.<\/p>\n

AGENCY AND DISTRIBUTOR ENQUIRIES<\/h2>\n

Government, military, law-enforcement, security, distributor and volume-procurement enquiries are welcome. Contact CASTLE12 for test documentation, configuration confirmation, technical specifications and project quotations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
