Global armour manufacturer, NP Aerospace, has extended its Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) portfolio with the launch of a next generation Bomb Disposal Suit targeting North America and other strategic global markets.

The new 4030 ELITE Bomb Disposal Suit and Helmet System is the result of extensive collaboration with EOD operators and uses cutting edge technology to meet the requirements of NIJ 0117.01*, the US National Institute of Justice Public Safety Bomb Suit standard. It introduces a new approach to EOD protection, delivering superior survivability and enhanced ergonomics at a reduced weight. The 4030 ELITE Suit provides a scalable platform where communication and cooling systems can be integrated within the base suit without full scale upgrades – a cost efficiency benefit for defence and security organisations.




NP Aerospace entered the EOD market in 2004 with a bomb disposal suit designed for British Forces in Northern Ireland and has expanded its presence with multiple global customers.

Key enhancements to the 4030 ELITE include:

• New suit and frontal armour plate design, delivering 360° protection, with coverage of critical areas
• Enhanced fit and mobility enabling extended wear and access in confined spaces
• Advanced EOD helmet design for enhanced optical performance and impact protection
• Increased size range to fit 5th percentile female to 99th percentile male operators
• Additional safety features for fast, emergency suit removal (less than 30 seconds)
• User configurable with full system integration (communications, cooling, CBRN)
