Chief Jeff Weible, Maize PD“I highly recommend LTC and their [THEATRE Protectives] shield.”
“LTC focuses their mission to protect the men and women in law enforcement. [They] took the time necessary to hear our needs and worked with us to procure a new ballistic shield to meet the needs of school response.”
Ballistic Protection Expertise
AS9100 Certified Quality System
LTC is a certified AS9100 and ISO 9001 company. The implementation of this system is for the purpose of demonstrating the ability to consistently provide the design, manufacture and fabrication of products made from advanced composite materials for armor applications. All products produced at LTC are made from materials and processes that meet and/or exceed our customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
LTC is committed to enhancing customer satisfaction through the effective application of this system, including processes for continual improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
Engineering & Design
Our engineering team designs and tests ballistic protection solutions using advanced CAD, simulation and analytical tools. An in-house ballistic testing lab provides crucial performance data for superior end-user protection.
NIJ-Compliant Ballistic Testing Range
Our onsite testing range can evaluate ballistic protection solutions at any angle of incidence required. We use a universal gun mount to test with rounds that range from a handgun (9mm) to a 14.5mm rifle, with ball and armor-piercing rounds.
As part of this test range, we use a digital X-ray to inspect the armor materials before and after each impact. This allows us to see how the armor reacts to each successive hit and refine the design as needed.
Certified Clean Room
We process armor composites in a stringent clean room environment to ensure the highest quality at every price point. Our clean room is environmentally controlled (temperature, humidity, air particulate count).
Precise Control
Our automated presses, ovens and autoclaves are digitally controlled to ensure the appropriate processing cycles (temperature, pressure and duration). This control allows us to precisely maintain the engineering development parameters in high-volume production environments.
Environmental & Mechanical Testing
Our suite of testing apparatuses allows environmental and mechanical testing of armor materials. We soak the materials in environmental chambers at extreme temperatures and humidity levels. We can also test temperature shock by quickly switching materials between chambers set at low and high temperatures.
