PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
The Med-Eng® TAC 6 is a highly versatile lightweight suit that protects military personnel operating in non-permissive environments against the threats posed by IEDs and other explosive hazards.
The TAC 6 provides a unique combination of mobility and scalable protection against blast and fragmentation.
Its modular protective components can be added or removed at any point during the mission to form an integrated system that meets specific operational and protective requirements.
TAC 6
Multi-Mission PlatformThe TAC 6 uses modular and scalable components to enable users to very easily and quickly reconfigure their protection for use in a wide range of missions. Each protective item is ergonomically designed to allow for a full range of motion and greatly reduce the strain experienced by EOD personnel.
Complements a Bomb SuitThe TAC 6 allows technicians to maintain mobility while offering a degree of protection against blast overpressure and fragmentation. In this context, it does not replace a full scale bomb disposal suit, but rather relieves technicians from having to make an ‘all or nothing’ choice between a bomb suit or a bullet resistant vest.
Equipment CompatibilityThe TAC 6 can be worn with military in-service body armor. For facial protection, Med-Eng offers 4 TAC Visor Systems that easily mount to Tactical helmets, offering up to 550 m/s of fragmentation protection.
SuitUp™ Sizing and CustomizationThe TAC 6’s unique SuitUp™ Sizing provides a better fit and therefore greater mobility than generic sizing. Program Managers can customize protective components, materials and patterns, subject to collaborative review.
