BALLISTIC SHIELDS AND ARMOR PANELS

At RTS Tactical, we build ballistic shields for those who refuse to stand down. When threats escalate and lives are on the line, our shields are the barrier between danger and the people you’re sworn to protect. Designed for law enforcement, SWAT teams, first responders, school defense, and private security, every tactical shield from RTS Tactical delivers uncompromising ballistic protection in the most demanding environments.

As a proud USA manufacturer in an ISO 9001-certified facility, our shields meet and exceed National Institute of Justice standards (NIJ 0101.06 and NIJ 0101.07 RF1). From Level IIIA ballistic shields that stop handgun rounds to Level IV ballistic shields capable of defeating armor-piercing rifle rounds, each model is engineered with precision, tested for performance, and trusted in the field.

This isn’t just gear, it’s a mission tool. Be Fearless. Be Ready.
