Interceptor Body Armor

The Interceptor Multi-Threat Body Armor System was developed by the Army and Marine Corps to improve protection and lessen the weight of previous vests. The vest is currently in use in Iraq and Afganistan. 
The Interceptor body armor system consists of an outer layer and two inserts designed to stop small arms fire. The outer layer is woven with Kevlar. These two parts of the vest are both bullet and heat resistant. The down side is that the vest can not handle heavy arms fire. The vest is also equipped with a removable neck, throat, shoulder and groin protection.
