Personal tactical system with integrated ballistic frame
Implementations described and claimed herein provide a personal tactical system configured to be worn by an individual for protection against threats. In one implementation, the personal tactical system includes one or more internal components disposed in an interior formed by an outer layer and an inner layer. The internal components include a flexible body armor, a ballistic plate, a ballistic frame, and/or a ballistic plate cover. The ballistic frame further includes an electrical system coupled to the frame body, the electrical system including one or more ports in communication with at least one of electrical or communication lines.
1. A tactical system comprising:
a bottom edge disposed opposite a top edge;
a set of side edges extending linearly from the bottom edge;
a set of tapered edges connecting the set of side edges to the top edge, the set of tapered edges, the set of side edges, the top edge, and the bottom edge forming a peripheral edge of a frame body, the frame body being planar;
a first set of openings defined in the frame body, the first set of openings being vertically aligned;
a second set of openings defined in the frame body, the second set of openings being vertically aligned, the first set of openings and the second set of openings being symmetrical, the frame body sized and shaped for receipt into a pocket formed by a first side of a protective vest exposed to an outside environment and a second side facing inwardly, the frame body configured to provide independent structural support to the protective vest; and
an electrical system coupled to the frame body, the electrical system comprising one or more ports in communication with at least one of electrical or communication lines.
2. The tactical system of claim 1 , wherein the electrical system includes at least one of a communications routing system, a power supply system, and a data transfer system.
3. The tactical system of claim 1 , wherein the electrical system comprises a multi-port hub including the one or more ports, the multi-port hub being one of a communication, power supply, or data transfer hub.
4. The tactical system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more ports are adapted to be connected to an external antenna.
5. The tactical system of claim 1 , wherein the electrical system comprises an integrated antenna.
6. The tactical system of claim 1 , wherein the electrical system includes an integrated magnetic induction loop.
7. The tactical system of claim 1 , wherein the electrical system is routed about a periphery of the frame body.
8. The tactical system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more ports comprises a universal adapter including an opening extending through the frame body and a connection adapter for connecting a cable to the port.
9. The tactical system of claim 8 , wherein the connection adapter includes a pin receiver adapted to receive and engage a pin adapter.
