Bourque Industries Announces New Ultralight Sub-13 oz. Concealable Trauma Plate

Bourque Industries today announced the Company is expanding its Kryron Terminator Armor line and will begin sales of the Terminator Ultralight trauma plate in early 2012. Pricing and distribution information will be released shortly after the new year.

Designed to meet a common law enforcement body armor requirement – providing additional pistol-caliber protection to a standard police-issue Level IIIA soft armor vest – the new 5”x8” Terminator Ultralight trauma plate weighs in at 12.96 ounces.

In testing conducted December 16 at Oregon Ballistics, the Terminator Ultralight was shown to exceed NIJ.06 Level II body armor standards, defeating the high-powered .44 Magnum in a stand-alone configuration at a distance of 8 feet, staying within the standard 44mm back face deformation parameter. The new plate also provides multi-impact protection against Level II standard .357 and 9mm ammunition.

“Our new Terminator Ultralight body armor provides today's law enforcement officer with the best of both worlds,” said John M. Bourque, Founder and CEO of Bourque Industries. “They get enhanced ballistic protection, up to .44 Magnum even without additional armor protection, in a package that weighs less than 13 ounces for ultimate all-day wearability and comfort.”

The Ultralight shares all of the same innovative advantages of other Terminator armor products made with Bourque's Kryron technology: reliable multi-impact protection, elimination of ricochet and spall, and – especially important for smaller plate sizes – Terminator armor defeats edge shots just as reliably as those in the center of the armor plate. This advantage increases the effective impact area of Terminator armor when compared with other protection systems.

In addition to the 5”x8” size, the Terminator Ultralight will also be available in a range of other dimensions including 10”x12”, 6”x9”, and 4”x8”.
