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). From HG2 ballistic shields that stop handgun rounds to Level RF3 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.

When the situation demands a hard armor shield that stops the threat, RTS Tactical delivers. We offer ballistic shield protection levels for every mission profile:

• Level IIIA (HG2) Ballistic Shields: Rated for handgun and shotgun threats. Ideal for rapid deployment utilizing low-weight materials.
• Level III (RF1) Ballistic Shields: Defense against rifle rounds such as 7.62x51mm NATO. Rugged ballistic or composite construction for long-term durability.
• Level III+ Ballistic Shields: Enhanced rifle protection against special threat rounds, giving operators an edge in unpredictable engagements.

Every shield undergoes rigorous testing to ensure ballistic integrity, multi-hit performance, and structural reliability under real-world conditions. We integrate advanced materials with human-focused design.

Our shields are built using only the highest-quality materials and precision manufacturing processes, featuring:

• Constructed in an ISO 9001-certified facility for consistency and reliability.
• Designed in collaboration with active law enforcement officers, SWAT operators, and first responders.
• Available with steel construction, composite materials, or hybrid armor solutions to meet different threat levels.
• Configured for maximum coverage without sacrificing mobility.

We know that every second counts, so we’ve built features like lightweight mini shields for rapid deployment, full-body ballistic shields for total coverage, and SWAT ballistic shields with integrated viewports for tactical visibility.

RTS Tactical offers a diverse lineup to match the mission:

• Mini Shields: Compact, lightweight, and fast-moving, excellent for active shooter response or tight interior spaces.
• SWAT Ballistic Shields: Full body protection with viewports for tactical teams clearing structures or holding perimeters.
• Rifle Shields: Rifle-rated defense against high-velocity rifle rounds, engineered for ballistic protection at Level III - RF1.
• Tactical Shields for Law Enforcement Officers: Designed with LE officers and first responders in mind, balancing protection, mobility, and endurance.
• Lead Entry Ballistic Shield: RF1-rated, our shields feature a boltless viewport system for enhanced durability and visibility. Lightweight and maneuverable, it's built for high-risk entries where reliability is critical.

Every RTS Tactical shield is a statement of readiness and hard body armor protection for those who run toward the fight.

We stand behind our gear. Through our Department Testing Program, agencies can receive evaluation units to test in the field before committing to a bulk order. This ensures every shield meets your exact operational needs. Whether you require Level IIIA or Level III, we’ll help you choose the right tool for the mission.

In addition to handheld shields, our range includes innovative armor panels such as glass and whiteboard dividers, perfect for securing workspaces, classrooms, and public areas. Each product is engineered for durability, portability, and effectiveness, combining advanced materials with user-friendly designs.
