Design of a scalable armor system based on a rigid harness frame which distributes the weight down to a hipbelt. Prototype could go from stand alone frame to plate carrier to full coverage vest.
Creation of a carrier for a client's tactical breaching ladder which needed to be able to mount to a body armor vest and quickly deploy the ladder, become compact when not in use, and be able to jettison the ladder in an emergency.
Various vest prototypes I've constructed. Many of these were evaluated by special forces personnel, used at military industry trade shows, along with a few that were actually field tested on deployment in Afghanistan.
