Interceptor Body Armour
Interceptor replaces ISAPO. Consists of Boron Carbide ceramic plates and a vest with protection against 7.62mm rounds. They will be replaced by light weight, higher performance plates as they become available (see MBA below). It can be worn as the kevlar vest, with or without the front and back plates. Additional neck and groin armour can be added. MOLLE webbing can be added the front of the vest. This is the intended body armour for 1st generation Land Warrior.
