ABSTRACT:
The Multi-Piece, Integrated Body Armor System is a two component system. The first component consists of a small piece of body armor, worn as an undergarment, that can weigh less than 2 pounds (a hard ballistic plate is optional) and covers the human upper torso area (lower neck to below the heart). The second component consists of a vest/jacket that is worn over a normal shirt. This component provides ballistic protection for areas where the first component's protection ends. The significance of this invention is that it offers complete, inconspicuous, ballistic protection while providing the wearer ease and comfort of continuous wear of the undergarment component and ease of removal for the externally worn component.
