THE NEW
INDUSTRY
STANDARD.
THEATRE Protectives ballistic shields are now trusted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection — and among the first in the industry to earn ASTM E3347 verification, the most rigorous ballistic shield standard in existence.
TRUSTED BY
U.S. CUSTOMS &
BORDER PROTECTION
THEATRE Protectives has been awarded an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by U.S. Customs and Border Protection — supplying both HG2 and RF1 rated ballistic shields to protect agents on the front lines of America's borders.
This contract reflects the federal government's confidence in THEATRE Protectives' ability to deliver shields that meet the most stringent technical requirements — including ASTM compliance, NIJ certification, ballistic-resistant viewports, and monolithic construction with protective polyurea coating.
ASTM E3347 —
THE INDUSTRY'S HIGHEST BAR
THEATRE Protectives shields are among the first in the industry to earn ASTM E3347/E3347M verification — a significantly more demanding standard that goes far beyond legacy NIJ testing requirements.
| Requirement | Legacy NIJ | ASTM E3347 |
|---|---|---|
| Min. Shot Count | ~6 shots | 19+ shots |
| Cluster Testing | No | 3-shot cluster |
| Angle/Proximity | Limited | Full coverage |
| Temp. Testing | Basic | -20°F to +140°F |
| Viewport Testing | Optional | Required |
| Fastener Testing | No | Required |

FRONT-LINE GUARDIANS
THEATRE Protectives is a brand of Leading Technology Composites (LTC) — a battle-tested manufacturer serving the U.S. military and law enforcement for decades.
