RXR Protect presents its innovative anti-trauma protection solutions for the military sector
In an environment where the safety of military personnel is paramount, RXR Protect is at the forefront of innovation in anti-trauma protection. Our solutions are designed to offer maximum protection against the devastating effects of ballistic impacts. The ASA 3.0 technology built into our products plays a crucial role in absorbing and dissipating shock waves, minimizing the risk of serious injury.
The “rear effect”, or the phenomenon of shockwave propagation following a ballistic impact, represents a serious threat to armed forces. RXR Protect products are specifically developed to counter this threat. Using ASA 3.0 technology, we have succeeded in creating solutions that not only protect against projectile penetration, but also significantly reduce shockwave trauma.
Why are RXR PROTECT anti-trauma solutions so important?
Beyond the fact that they can be worn under a soft pack and reduce the risk of rear effects by over 50%, it’s a matter of life and death. After an impact, the ability to fight back or move is crucial to survival.
We’d just like to clarify one point of difference between the terms “NIJ IV ICW” and “NIJ IV standalone”, which refer to two types of Level 4 ballistic protection plates, each with specific characteristics and uses. Here are the differences between these two types of plates:
NIJ IV ICW (In Conjunction With)
- Need for an Additional Layer: This means that the plate alone does not provide level 4 protection; it must be combined with a basic vest to achieve this level of protection.
- Flexibility and adaptability: often lighter than standalone plates at the same level.
- Cost and weight: ICW plates are often less expensive and lighter.
NIJ IV Standalone
- Full protection: NIJ IV standalone plates are designed to provide level 4 protection on their own. They can stop the most powerful projectiles, including armour-piercing bullets, without additional support.
- Simplicity and reliability: Standalone plates offer a simple, straightforward protection solution.
- Weight and comfort: Standalone plates are generally heavier and more rigid than ICW plates.
To sum up
- NIJ IV ICW : Our RXR Protect inflatable anti-trauma solutions can eliminate the need for level IIIA body armor to achieve level 4 protection. They offer a lighter, more adaptable and less expensive solution.
- NIJ IV Standalone : Our RXR Protect solutions provide Level 4 protection without the need for an additional vest. They offer a simple, reliable solution, especially for impacts with very high-speed bullets.
The choice between these two types of plate depends on the specific needs of the user, the nature of the expected threats and the conditions of use. Whatever the case, our solutions improve the conditions of use and the safety of combatants. For an optimum safety/price ratio, our anti-trauma solutions should be more widely available.
Why equip all our fighters with RXR Protect Ballistic Trauma Plates?
Protecting combatants in the field is an absolute priority. In an environment where safety can mean the difference between life and death, it is imperative to provide the armed forces with the best equipment available. RXR Protect Ballistic Trauma Plates represent a significant advance in personal protection, and here’s why all our fighters should be equipped with them:
- Maximum protection
RXR Protect Anti-Trauma are designed to offer protection that improves the rear effects behind all types of ballistic vests by over 50%, stopping the most powerful projectiles. This maximum protection capability ensures that combatants are protected from the most serious threats on the battlefield.
- Trauma reduction
The main innovation of RXR Protect plates lies in their anti-trauma technology. By absorbing and dispersing impact energy, these plates significantly reduce secondary trauma, such as internal injuries caused by the shock of impact. This means not only better immediate survival, but also faster recovery and fewer long-term injuries.
- Mobility and Comfort
RXR Protect plates are designed to be as light and flexible as possible without compromising safety. Also to leave a flow of air between the vest and the body for true ventilation.
- Simplicity and reliability
The simplicity of RXR Protect plates means greater reliability, reducing the risk of errors or failures in critical situations.
- Building Trust
When fighters know they’re wearing the best equipment available, their confidence and morale rise. This confidence translates into improved performance and a greater ability to successfully accomplish their missions.
- Innovation and Expertise
RXR Protect is at the forefront of innovation in anti-ballistic trauma solutions. By equipping our fighters with these plates, we demonstrate our commitment to providing them with the best technology available, and our willingness to invest in their safety and well-being.
Conclusion
Equipping all our fighters with RXR Protect ballistic anti-trauma plates is a strategic decision that enhances their safety, efficiency and morale. It’s an investment in the lives and performance of those who risk everything to protect others. The advanced technology, reduced trauma, improved mobility and reliability of RXR Protect plates make them an essential choice for any modern armed force. Not to equip our fighters with this essential protection would be an unacceptable neglect of the dangers they face every day.

The different development phases
In 2016, RXR began this project articulated in 4 Phases subject to validation:
The 1st phase was to validate the contribution of the RXR ASA systems (inflatable part) already used in the extreme sports protective vests designed by RXR and to find out whether our technology would sufficiently absorb the impact of shots at 430 m/s and 840 m/s.
For the 2nd phase, the specifications evolved: thickness, pressure and resistance had to be optimized to fit under a bullet-proof vest and meet the needs of the combatant (comfort, practicality, strength, reliability…).
To achieve this, we worked on an air cushion covered by a semi-rigid outer shell. Once we had developed the molds and launched a first series, we needed to validate them with fire. Back at LABOCA (LABORATOIRE DU COMMISSARIAT DES ARMEES) for tests.
After more than 200 shots, we were ready for validation using high-speed images. This 3rd phase involved 4 people, a rigorous imaging set-up and an analyst capable of dissecting the tests and analyzing them using a comparative method based on existing reference products.
History
Thanks to the Mission for the Development of Participatory Innovation (MIP) which promotes innovative projects for the French army, the company RXR Protect and Chief Medical Officer Nicolasalso a researcher in war traumatology at the IRBA(Institut de recherche biomédicale des armées), were able to launch a study into the problem of the rear effecta problem that has become very important with the use of flexible and rigid body armor.
On impact, the vest deforms backwards, transmitting a large wave of energy. This phenomenon can cause very serious internal trauma (burst organs, haemorrhage, etc.) and generally leads to loss of consciousness, which significantly reduces the chances of survival in what is by definition a hostile environment. generally leads to loss of consciousness, which significantly reduces the chances of survival in what is by definition a hostile environment.
To minimize this rear effect, a material is placed under the ballistic protection (between it and the wearer’s body) to diffuse and absorb all or a large part of the impact energy.
