ULBRICHTS FORTIS

The answer to rifle threats – ULBRICHTS FORTIS forehead shield - RIFLE UPGRADE

The FORTIS forehead shield from ULBRICHTS Protection features an add-on module that can be used to upgrade the OPTIO to rifle protection. This represents the protection level of VPAM 6 (VPAM 6 = Kalashnikov 7.62 mm x 39 steel core, analog to the European HVN 2009 guideline, residual energy values below 25 joules). The additional module weighs just 1,08 lbs (490 grams) and can reliably reduce a Kalashnikov assault rifle’s enormous firepower of over 2000 joules and a projectile speed of around 2362 feet/second (720 m/s) to well below 25 joules while it also stops NATO caliber 7,62x52mm (.308 / M80 / NIJ III).

Due to the enormous firepower of Kalashnikov and other rifles, police forces have lacked effective & true head protection.

In a nutshell: The FORTIS can upgrade the OPTIO from TRUE handgun protection to TRUE rifle protection. It stops and prevents fatal trauma to the helmet wearer when hit by rifle ammunition with defined residual energy values by experts of 25 joules.

The shield can be attached or removed in a matter of seconds. It is securely fastened using Velcro. This technology makes it possible to upgrade all ULBRICHTS helmets with additional protection, thus significantly improving the head protection of those, who protect us.
