Full Spectrum Protection concept

In 1996, The US Marine Corps Commandant General Charles C. Krulak outlined his theory of the Full Spectrum Operation that he named the “Three Block War” (3BW). ”In one moment in time, our service members will be feeding and clothing displaced refugees providing humanitarian assistance. In the next moment, they will be holding two warring tribes

that enables them to adapt the protection and equipment according to rapid changes in situation, mission and threat level. In response to this, we created the Full Spectrum Protection concept (FSP), a holistic personal protection and load carrying system that connects the diverse missions characterized by modern and future operations.

The FSP concept enables the user to adapt appearance, protection and equipment through a variety of missions such as delivering humanitarian aid, patrolling the streets, controlling crowd or fighting a battle. A modern body armor system consists of several components optimized to work together. The cooperation of all fabrics and components result in a

perfect product. Shape, function and location of the components must also be precisely considered. A perfect product demands a broad knowledge and experience material of technology, body armor design, human anatomy and ergonomics of end user, to name a few. ergonomics end user Working with the premium developers of ballistic fabrics and the market

leaders within ballistic protection, NFM® is able to offer effective and comfortable ballistic solutions with excellent energy absorption properties, tenacity and impact resistance. And all of this, with an outstanding cost/ performance ratio. In summary, the FSP concept enhances the initiative, capabilities and the survivability of the end user.

Most ballistic ceramic plates have a secure area starting 5 cm from the edge. Our unique plates contain a secure area starting only 2 cm from the edge, giving the end user a 60% higher active area of protection.
