National Institute Of Justice (NIJ)

The NIJ is the research, development, and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice, and is dedicated to researching crime control and justice issues. A branch of its duties include coming up with an industry benchmark for ballistics specifications in various areas of armour. Besides North America, many other countries like Australia and Thailand have adopted similar standards.

The NIJ standard ranges from NIJ I to NIJ IV, where the former withstands a variety of bullet calibers from different handguns while the latter is able to repel an armour-piercing round from a sniper rifle. For the purpose of vehicle protection, NIJ IIA is recommended by most as the basic requirement.

At Jupiter Protection, we adhere to the stringent testing and certification of NIJ to ensure our armour-proofing is credible and ready for use. All our materials are sent to an independent test facility, Australian Ballistics Laboratory (ABL), for verification and approval. The ABL is accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA) to conduct ballistic and stab testing. Now, our clients can have peace of mind for their security needs. Besides reliability, we have the capability to provide protection from NIJ IIA to NIJ IV, depending on their needs and convenience.
