PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Next-Generation Entry Shield – Built for Modern Frontlines. When fast-moving tactical operations demand unwavering protection and agility, the RTS Tactical Centurion Ballistic Shield NIJ 0101.07 RF1 rises to the challenge. This cutting-edge shield is engineered for entry teams, rapid response units, and law enforcement officers who lead from the front. With an industry-first boltless viewport design eliminating any bolts through the glass, it removes traditional weak points​ and maximizes durability under extreme conditions. At the same time, hardened RF1-rated ballistic bolts maintain full structural integrity even when struck from odd angles​, ensuring that every component of the Centurion holds up under fire.

Despite its formidable rifle-rated protection, the Centurion is remarkably lightweight – just 20 lbs – allowing operators to move with speed and confidence. Its 20” x 36” compact profile and single-curve architecture offer superior balance and control, so you can maneuver through doorways and tight spaces without hesitation. Tested to the latest NIJ standards, this shield empowers you to take on high-threat engagements with battlefield-proven strength and minimal fatigue. Step forward with confidence knowing the Centurion Ballistic Shield RF1 has you covered when every moment counts.

WHY WE MADE IT

At RTS Tactical, we never compromise on protection or mobility. Field feedback showed that traditional shields were too heavy and vulnerable—bolted viewports created weak points, adhesives degraded under heat, and extra weight slowed operators down. In response, we engineered the Centurion: a lightweight, high-performance shield featuring our innovative boltless viewport, RF1-rated ballistic bolts, and reinforced rubber bumpers. It’s built to give frontline teams the agile, reliable protection they need to move swiftly and stay safe.
