Bourque Industries' Level III Body Armor is NIJ Certified

Business Wire
Bourque Industries today announced that the Company has earned
National Institute of Justice (NIJ) certification for its Level III
stand-alone Kryron Terminator Armor – under the model designation
KT-MIA-II – complying with the most recent and rigorous NIJ
Standard-0101.06.
NIJ certification is a prerequisite for most US law enforcement
agencies when purchasing personal body armor for its officers. This
essential government stamp of approval allows Bourque's innovative
Kryron Terminator Armor to be marketed and sold to federal law
enforcement, state police, sheriff's offices, and municipal police
forces across the country.
Bourque's Level III armor joins the Level II Ultralight, the
Thinline, and Bourque's custom .50 caliber AP-capable lightweight
vehicle armor solutions in the company's Terminator line of
ballistic armor products.
“This is a great day for Bourque Industries and its
shareholders. Now that NIJ has certified our armor, the law
enforcement agencies around the world that have been waiting for
our innovative Terminator products are now allowed to purchase from
Bourque Industries,” said John M. Bourque, Founder and CEO. “The
timing of the certification is perfect, as we are now bringing
online our new large-scale manufacturing processes to be able to
meet the demand for our newly-certified Level III armor
systems.”
In NIJ testing at Oregon Ballistic Laboratories in October of
last year, Bourque's Level III stand-alone Kryron Terminator Armor
System demonstrated its industry-leading multi-impact capabilities
by defeating all six 7.62x51 FMJ NATO rounds within the standard
44mm back face deformation standards. Bourque reached this
performance milestone on all of its Level III body armor panels
tested.
Kryron Terminator Armor also provides additional advantages over
competing armor that are essential for the survivability of law
enforcement and military personnel. Terminator armor eliminates
ricochet and spall – shrapnel from the bullet and armor,
respectively – because Kryron armor works by catching bullets
instead of shattering and deflecting them.
