LASA Mk1 Ballistic Shields

Outstanding Ballistic Performance

LASA Ballistic Shield Range

NP Aerospace designs and manufactures a full range of ballistic and blast handheld shields and trolley mounted systems. Smaller variants have been specially designed to offer full mobility to end users, enabling the user to move at speed while remaining protected, while larger variants are available for where a more comprehensive level of protection is required. 

Our latest shield generation includes tactical cut options with viewports and weapon rests providing optimum manoeuvrability. These are designed for rugged operations including lightweight ballistic composite handle systems and innovative design features such as adjustable forearm straps, ladder features and suspended shield panels. Optional add-ons include cameras and lighting systems.
