NOT JUST NEW. BATTLE-READY.

The tactical equipment in this collection is a response to what’s happening on the ground. Each new arrival is built from the field up, driven by direct feedback from those who live the mission every day. Law Enforcement protecting our communities. Military units operating in hostile zones. Armed defenders preparing for worst-case scenarios.

From advanced ballistic shields to ultra-responsive accessories and NIJ-certified body armor plates, this collection reflects what it means to be mission-ready in today’s world. These are tools built not just for survival, but for decisive, fearless action.

USA MANUFACTURING

RTS Tactical is a proud USA manufacturer in an ISO 9001-certified facility, committed to protecting those who protect us. But more important than where it’s made is how it’s tested, and by whom.

Through our Department Testing Program, law enforcement agencies and tactical teams across the country have the opportunity to test the latest body armor, ballistic shields, and plate carriers in real-world operational settings. The feedback we receive helps us refine every detail, from ballistic protection ratings to comfort, mobility, and modularity.

That’s how we ensure every new launch meets the demands of the mission - not just the specs.

EXPLORE CUTTING-EDGE TACTICAL SOLUTIONS

Today’s threat level isn’t what it was five years ago. RTS Tactical’s latest tactical equipment is engineered for adaptability and maximum protection across multiple environments and mission profiles. Here’s what’s new and why it matters:

  • Next-Gen Ballistic Protection:
    Our newest products offer NIJ 07 HG1, HG2, and RF1 armor protection. Every plate and insert is rigorously tested for durability, weight balance, and threat-specific performance.

  • Rapid-Deploy Accessories:
    Seconds matter in high-pressure situations. That’s why our new mag pouches, utility panels, IFAK systems, and load-bearing accessories are engineered for smooth integration and fast deployment in the heat of action.

  • LEO-Only Launches:
    We work directly with departments to create tactical gear optimized for law enforcement officers. From specialized uniform vests to ballistic shields, these new arrivals are built with and for the people on the front lines.

  • Body Armor Solutions for Every Scenario:
    Whether you're outfitting a tactical team or upgrading personal protection, our new line of body armor plates, body armor inserts, and tactical body armor systems delivers scalable defense. Options range from low-vis solutions for covert use to high-threat, full-coverage kits built for urban conflict.

  • Modular Plate Carriers With Mission-Specific Customization:
    Our latest plate carriers balance mobility and loadout capacity with advanced ergonomic features. With reinforced stitching, laser-cut MOLLE, and fast-attach systems, they’re designed for rapid setup and maximum adaptability.

These aren’t off-the-shelf upgrades, they’re purpose-built tactical equipment developed for high-stakes situations: active shooter response, civil unrest, breaching operations, and personal defense.

GEAR THAT EVOLVES WITH THE THREAT

Every new product begins with a single question: What does today’s protector need to win tomorrow’s fight?

RTS Tactical answers that question through ongoing collaboration with military personnel, SWAT teams, field officers, and tactical instructors. Their insights shape the development of every plate, panel, and piece of equipment we release.

From integrating next-gen materials to refining the way our gear fits and functions under stress, everything we build is meant to enhance confidence in the field and reduce hesitation when it matters most.

This is high-quality gear built for the fight. Tactical equipment designed to adapt with the mission. Body armor solutions forged through field trials, not marketing briefs.

FAQs

What makes RTS Tactical new products different from other tactical gear?

RTS Tactical products are developed using direct feedback from officers and operators in the field. Every new release focuses on protection, durability, mobility, and mission adaptability, not just meeting specs.

Are RTS Tactical new products NIJ certified?

Many RTS Tactical armor products are tested and certified to NIJ 0101.06 and NIJ 0101.07 standards. Certification level, threat rating, and test status are clearly listed on each product page.

What do NIJ armor levels mean?

NIJ armor levels define the types of ballistic threats armor is tested to stop. RTS Tactical labels all armor using both the legacy NIJ 0101.06 system and the updated NIJ 0101.07 standard to make protection levels easy to understand.

Under NIJ 0101.07, armor is categorized by threat type:

  • HG1 / HG2 – Handgun protection (Level IIIA)
  • RF1 – Common rifle threats (Level III)
  • RF2 – Higher-velocity rifle threats (Level III+)
  • RF3 – Armor-piercing rifle threats (Level IV)

RTS Tactical displays these ratings clearly on each product so customers can confidently choose the right level of protection for their mission.

How are RTS Tactical products tested before release?

New products are refined through in-house testing and real-world evaluation via the RTS Tactical Department Testing Program, where thousands of agencies provide direct operational feedback.

Are RTS Tactical products available for department and agency purchase?

Yes. RTS Tactical works directly with departments on individual officer outfitting, bulk orders, and evaluation programs.

Is RTS Tactical gear compatible with industry-standard MOLLE systems?

Yes. RTS Tactical pouches, carriers, and accessories are designed to integrate with standard MOLLE and laser-cut attachment platforms.
