Armor
hardBLOC & flexBLOC Body Armor
MMI designs, manufactures, and assembles hardBLOC body armor plates to meet the DoD’s most serious advanced armor challenges, achieving X-SAPI threat protection at an E-SAPI weight.
MMI is accomplished at defeating M-993 threats with proprietary ballistic insert configurations of 6.3 psf. hardBLOC armor is a direct replacement for existing SAPI inserts.
flexBLOC high-mobility body armor is an alternative to traditional heavy, bulky solid plate armor inserts. flexBLOC leverages MMI’s super-strength ceramics, tough composite material compositions, and unique assembly techniques.
Advantages
- flexBLOC ballistic protection at 7.1 psf
- Medium insert carry weight of 5.0 to 5.3 lbs — 10% to 15% lighter than a medium sized rigid ballistic plate
- Proven multi-hit effectiveness against .30 Cal APM2 threats — 4 to 5 non-penetrating hits per insert
- Direct replacement into existing rigid plate carriers
