Adept Armor released two new rifle plates in September 2026 from Denison, Texas, as it rebuilt its product line to focus on different mission roles. The company develops next-generation armor materials and plates.

Emperor offers Level IV protection with RF3 coverage over the whole plate at 4.55 pounds, making it the lightest such product in the category.

Archon Mark 2 weighs 5.2 pounds and is priced at 588 dollars, employing Adept Armor’s new Quatroid ceramic for the high threat segment that emphasizes both performance and value.
