American-Made Quality

We produce all of our plates in the U.S.A. in our own facility to ensure that you are getting the highest quality product that will protect you when you need it most. Our plates go through routine testing at an NIJ approved laboratory so we can guarantee protection against specific threats.

Stealth Operator / Phalanx is on a mission to protect our protectors, and we proudly provide armor to first responders, law enforcement and military agencies. We provide you the same high quality armor that they trust to protect themselves.

Multi-Hit Tested

Each plate is tested to withstand multiple hits without being compromised. We believe these devices should be worn to save lives, and we want to give our customers the highest level of protection that makes sense for their situation.

Priced With You In Mind

Cheap body armor is likely made of cheaper material, made outside of the United States or made in facilities that are not as well equipped as ours.

Some competitors’ best selling plates are ‘in conjunction’ plates, where purchasing means you will need to invest in additional soft panels or hard armor to reach the protection level you are trying to achieve. All plates made by Stealth Operator / Phalanx Defense Systems are Stand Alone Plates that provide all of the protection you are seeking at a reasonable price.

Light& Buoyant Armor

Our plates are made from 100% Dyneema® ballistic material, which is the world’s strongest fiber™. That, combined with a polycarbonate backing in a proprietary press and manufacturing process, has created some of the lightest armor on the market available to most budgets.

The armor’s backing provides an added level of protection against trauma upon impact, while also making the plate positively buoyant* to help the wearer in emergency water situations.

Unprecedented Warranty

Industry average warranty for hard armor plates is 5 years. Stealth Operator’s / Phalanx Defense Systems’ most popular plates (M2, M3, M7X) have a 7 year warranty, one of the longest warranties on the market. Our plates are more protected from the elements and daily wear-and-tear than our competitors with their special coating. We want you to make your investment in the best product and know that it will last you for years to come.
