A question we hear quite often at trade shows is “what happens when the Tactical Vest Antenna System gets shot?” This is a very logical question considering that the antenna is placed on the outside of the SAPI plates, and will be one of the first pieces of equipment to be damaged by an impacting shot.
Although virtually any object can be destroyed, provided enough time and ammunition, the question we proposed is whether the antenna would be able to outlast the SAPI plate. According the the DoD Testing Requirements for Body Armor, protective body inserts are tested to withstand a minimum of three shots, which we used as our baseline.
