I came up with this idea after looking at the new cadian Imperial Guard units from warhammer 40k, and got the idea that design would be excellent armor below security grade armor. The breast plate and shoulder guards would make an excellent armor for those that want good protection provided by security armor with out the extra weight and the high cost. But I am trying to make where is as good as security armor but with out looking like light security armor, but also where the cost is right where is would make it worth buying of the armored jacket. I figured that it would have better impact then the armored jacket maybe something like an impact rating of 4 or 5, be able to incorporate features that you can get on security and hardened military grade armor, and have a helmet. I have added in one of my own features for the military version where it has a single hard point for mounting solid framed back packs that can be (de)attached faster.
Light Application Armor Light Application Armor or laa as it is other wise known, was designed with high protection at lower cost in mind, making it a favorite with front line troops. LAA is a breast plate and shoulder guard design, the armor is approximately 3cm at its thickest section and 2cm at its thinnest section. The breast plate and shoulder guards are composed of thin layers of cemite bonded to gather by reinforcing acrylic and polymer resin, this combination gives this armor great protective abilities. This makes the LAA able to stop light caliber rifle ammunition and most light-heavy caliber pistol ammunition, LAA has been proven to increase survival rates by 20%. The LAA is often worn over ballistic clothing to offer more protection to areas not covered by the LAA, it is recommended that all personnel wear helmets to over maximum over all protection. Combined with lower costs, and high protective capabilities, the LAA is fast becoming more spread out through military and security forces around the world.
