Coulnd't find a thread on this one, I'm sure it's somewhere.
Anyway, is this on anyone's radar? Their IED technology sounds promising. Definitely a headlining issue.

Here is the post. I knew the body armor would do very well for this company. YES
Homeland Security Group International Teams With Dulles, Virginia Manufacturer to Introduce Lightweight Ballistic Body Armor to US Military
DEL MAR, CA, May 18, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Colonel Jeffrey A. Powers, CEO of Homeland Security Group International, Inc. (OTC: HMSG) announced today that the company's Ballistics Division has signed an agreement with Dulles, Virginia-based Protective Enterprises, LLC to represent them in negotiations with the US Military aimed at introducing a revolutionary new lightweight ballistic body armor material.
HMSG's Ballistics Division previously announced they were placing increased emphasis on the focus of lightweight armor. Beginning in the first week of 2006, the company began test firing numerous samples of composite material from many manufacturers utilizing varying caliber test rounds including NATO 9mm, .45Caliber, 5.56 and 7.62., HMSG stated their goal was to find, test and market to the US Military, an alternative to the currently issued small arms protective inserts (SAPI). "The current plates are very heavy," commented HMSG's CEO, Jeffrey Powers. "We chose Protective Enterprises' new composite plate because it is much lighter than the currently issued ceramic plates and these plates have achieved NIJ Level III (Rifle) and Level IIIA. These plates sustained multiple hits from 5.56 and 7.62 and the rounds were unable to penetrate. Another great characteristic of these plates is that they are neutral buoyant, which means they float."
"Our goal has always been to find and produce the lightest possible panels capable of stopping high velocity rounds," continued Powers. "We have been working closely with our manufacturing partner Protective Enterprises, LLC and we are now confident we have a product that will protect our troops and allow them greater mobility while wearing their armor. The side armor problem is one we have placed increased emphasis on because we have seen a spike in wounds caused by rounds and shrapnel impacting the body in areas of the torso not covered by ballistic armor. Numerous articles have reported that military members in combat are sometimes not wearing their full compliment of armor protection due to its weight, bulkiness and because it restricts movement. Solving this problem, along with providing full torso protection, has been, and continues to be our top priority."
The company has also designed a new carrier for side ballistic inserts based on the needs of the Department of Defense as stated in a pre-solicitation notice posted on Feb 18, 2006, The US Army intends to purchase 966,000 sets of Interceptor type body armor, Enhanced Side Ballistic Inserts and Carriers.
"Our joint venture partner Recon Mountaineer has designed a new side armor protection carrier to facilitate the wearing of these new plates," said Powers. "Recon Mountaineer is also in the final stages of design of a drastically new outer vest to compete with the Interceptor vest. Protective Enterprises will provide the necessary ballistic lining for our new 'Ballistic Vest System' as well as front, back and side armor plates capable of stopping high velocity rounds."
The company also stated Recon Mountaineer has integrated a revolutionary new material into the Ballistic Vest System designed to mitigate the effects of blunt force trauma caused by the impact of high velocity rounds.

Protective Enterprises LLC of Dulles, Virginia(Formally, Ballistic Protection Technology). HMSG is starting to be accumulated again. Keep in mind there are now TWO products with "PRIORITY STATUS" for our Troops that HMSG is ready to introduce to the Military. IMO any one of these two products could send HMSG up to new highs quickly. This is a great opportunity to accumulate or start a new position. Keep the Faith and GLTYA!*****SUPPORT OUR TROOPS*****
