Proudly serving

and Federal LE
COMBInING FORCES

Armor Express and KDH Defense Systems have joined forces, legally merging into Armor Express in December 2019. Together, we proudly serve America’s heroes, from the U.S. Military and Department of Defense, Federal and Domestic Law Enforcement, Corrections Officers, Fire & EMS personnel and first responders around the world. While KDH Defense Systems is now Armor Express, the KDH brand and heritage lives on.

For the past 15 years, KDH has consistently delivered innovative, high-quality products, ranging from the Interceptor Outer Tactical Vest (OTV) to each generation of the Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV Gen I, II, III and IV). More recently, with awards from the U.S. Armed Forces, we are proud to serve as one of the primary suppliers of “next generation” body armor systems, including the Soldier Protection System – Modular Scalable Vest (SPS-MSV), the Blast Pelvic Protector (SPS-BPP), the Ultra-Low Visibility Concealable Body Armor (ULV-CBA) System and the Light Air Warrior System (LAWS). Through our seven-year contract with the United States Department of Homeland Security, we have a host of carrier solutions, ballistic packages and hard armor plates that meet the mission-critical needs of this prestigious agency and the divisions within.

USMC PLATE CARRIER
USMC PLATE CARRIER
The USMC Plate Carrier is the new U.S. Marine Corps plate carrier vest system. It consists of a cummerbund style main vest with the option of using IMTV groin and lower back protection. The system is designed to allow the Marine to scale the system dependent upon mission requirements. The PC is a 2-point cut away system, has fully integrated side protection, communication routing channels, and increased MOLLE attachment points. In addition to more efficient weight distribution, the PC gives the Marine the ability to use a plate carrier vest system instead of the larger IMTV vest. The PC also has optional lower back and groin protection and can be removed if not needed. Additional options include removable side plate pockets and a removable rifle bolster.
