TAC 6 Multi-Threat Protective Suit and ARC Rail Visor Mount
Feb. 13, 2018
This modular ensemble enables tactical and military teams to supplement their existing ballistic armor, such as the PROTECH® Tactical series, for greater coverage.
Med-Eng's new variant of its TAC 6 multi-threat protective suit and ARC Rail Visor Mount provides blast, fragmentation and optional ballistic threat protection to tactical officers and military teams where there is a requirement for high mobility and the need to return fire. The ARC Rail Visor Mount allows operators to quickly mount a Med-Eng blast protective visor to their tactical or combat helmet.
This TAC 6 variant features a purpose-designed shoulder protector that can be donned or doffed while continuously wearing a respirator to protect against chemical, biological or other airborne threats. It also allows for better shouldering of a long-barreled weapon during tactical operations, Close Quarters Combat (CQC) and precision shooting. In the event of a medical emergency, the shoulder protector can be easily removed by medical experts to mitigate risk of further injury and to start applying advanced first aid.
This modular ensemble enables tactical and military teams to supplement their existing ballistic armor, such as the PROTECH® Tactical series, for greater coverage. The TAC 6’s system of components covers the torso, groin, arms and legs, with optional plate packages. This allows the operator to maintain overall mobility, minimize carried weight where possible, and gain protection from blast and fragmentation explosive threats. The system includes a new webless MOLLE outer layer on the front of the optional chest plates so operators can mount duty gear such as Safariland® holsters, pouches and other tools. Additional enhancements are expected to follow as this new platform is further launched in 2018.
The ARC Rail Visor Mount allows an operator to protect the facial area by quickly mounting any of the four Med-Eng visors equipped with an ARC Rail System to their current tactical or combat style helmet also equipped with bolted ARC Rails, including helmets from PROTECH Tactical and LBA. The visor can be locked in the raised or lowered position depending upon the different phases of a mission with the new ARC Rail Visor Mount.
