KDH Soldier Plate Carrier Sytem

The KDH Defense Systems “Magnum TAC-1 Soldier Plate Carrier System has currently been fielded by the US Army to Soldiers in Afghanistan to lighten their load while providing similar ballistic protection to that of the main infantry vest system, the IOTV. To date over 57,000 systems have been delivered and are in theater. After lengthy review, field evaluations, and analysis the US Army chose the KDH Magnum TAC-1 system over all other competitors’ designs as a result of the following key factors:

  •  Weight and comfort
  •  Ballistic performance
  •  Delivery schedule

The Magnum TAC-1 was the lightest of the plate carriers studied by the US Army and it had the highest ballistic performance as well. From our State of the Art production facility in Eden, North Carolina, KDH was also able to provide the US Army with the most accelerated delivery schedule as well.

Other key characteristics of the Magnum TAC-1 System:

  •  Single Pull Quick Release system for emergency removal
  •  Unmatched comfort. One active duty Army Major commented, “It is by far the most comfortable body armor vest I have ever worn”.
  •  Available in Universal Camouflage as well as the new Multi-Cam camouflage fabrics
  •  Highly Adjustable for improved fit. The vest can be adjusted “on the run” without removing the vest with its side adjustable straps. The vest can be adjusted real time as mission requirements change.
  •  Side panels for side plate protection can be easily removed when missions during not require side protection.
  •  Low Profile System
  •  Lightest Weight military plate carrier on the market today
