Centurion Ballistic Shield NIJ 07 RF1 – Curved

The Next-Generation Entry Shield – Built for Modern Frontlines.

When fast-moving tactical operations demand unwavering protection and agility, the RTS Tactical Centurion Ballistic Shield NIJ 0101.07 RF1 rises to the challenge. This cutting-edge shield is engineered for entry teams, rapid response units, and law enforcement officers who lead from the front. With an industry-first boltless viewport design eliminating any bolts through the glass, it removes traditional weak points​ and maximizes durability under extreme conditions. At the same time, hardened RF1-rated ballistic bolts maintain full structural integrity even when struck from odd angles​, ensuring that every component of the Centurion holds up under fire.

Despite its formidable rifle-rated protection, the Centurion is remarkably lightweight – just 20 lbs – allowing operators to move with speed and confidence. Its 20” x 36” compact profile and single-curve architecture offer superior balance and control, so you can maneuver through doorways and tight spaces without hesitation. Tested to the latest NIJ standards, this shield empowers you to take on high-threat engagements with battlefield-proven strength and minimal fatigue. Step forward with confidence knowing the Centurion Ballistic Shield RF1 has you covered when every moment counts.

Threats Tested

NIJ Standard: 0101.07 RF1, offering protection against 7.62x51mm M80 Ball, 7.62x39mm MSC, and 5.56mm M193.

Unlike the previous NIJ 0101.06 Level III standard, which only tested against 7.62x51mm M80 Ball, the RF1 standard includes additional rifle threats, ensuring broader protection against modern ballistic threats encountered by law enforcement.

Now engineered in alignment with the ASTM E3347/E3347M-25 ballistic shield standard—designed to validate full-shield performance, including edges, viewports, and fasteners, under multi-hit rifle and handgun threats.
