Since 1997, Frag Bag has been used in the US to provide safety to local and federal law enforcement, private security, postal security and corporate mail room personnel. It was famously used in response to the suspicious packages sent to Time Warner/CNN in the US in October 2018.
Frag Bag is compatible with bomb disposal robots and is designed with a number of “grab points” that allow it to be opened, loaded, closed and transported with a bomb stick or remote manipulator. With its compact design, Frag Bag can easily fit into the trunk of a car and is light enough to be hand carried.
Frag Bag is part of the LAST Armor family of products.
Developed in the late 1990s with researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and members of the New Mexico State Police, Frag Bag is designed to contain fragments and mitigate the blast overpressure from a typical 2 inch diameter, 8 inch long pipe bomb charged with 1 pound of Pyrodex® propellant. It has also been successfully tested against 2 ounces of C4. A Frag Bag weighs less than 25 pounds and is manportable. It can be used by public safety, private security, Postal Service and corporate mail room personnel.
Available for shipment within the USA only. Lead time, generally 3-4 months ARO.
