STANAG 4569 Protection Levels |
Definition of Protection: Based on ballistic material providing a 90% probability of protection from the threat (established by STANAG 4164).
Threat Level 1 (Rifle)
Artillery Simulator: 20mm FSP (simulating 155mm threat) at 520 m/sec from a distance of 100 meters. Due to very low probability of a large fragment retaining enough velocity at these distances, STANAG 4569 makes this optional.
Ammunition: 5.56mm x 45 M193
Ball
Distance: 30 meters

Threat Level 2 (Infantry Rifle)
Artillery Simulator: 20mm FSP (simulating 155mm threat) at 630 m/sec from a distance of 80 meters. Due to very low probability of a large fragment retaining enough velocity at these distances, STANAG 4569 makes this optional.
