Combat Clothing Australia - Ballistic Protective Clothing

Combat Clothing Australia (CCA), is a privately owned Australian company specialising in the design and manufacture of a wide range of military and paramilitary ballistic-protective accessories.

BALLISTIC PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

The inception of Combat Clothing Australia was in 1982 when the company began manufacturing clothing and equipment for sports shooters and fishermen. Since then, Combat Clothing Australia has grown into an Australian leader in the design and manufacture of a whole generation of innovative ballistic garments and military equipment.

CUSTOMISED BALLISTIC PROTECTIVE PRODUCTS

The company's strength is in its ability to produce ballistic protective equipment to its customers' specific requirements whilst ensuring that performance and technical integrity are maintained. We recognise that customer requirements should not be dictated to by a standard range.

BALLISTIC PROTECTIVE CLOTHING ADVANTAGES

CCA's ballistic protective products are developed and tested by professionals who have significant combat experience, and the wearer can therefore be assured of the quality and intuitive design of the item.

When you next assess the protective needs of your personnel, consider the following aspects that have made Combat Clothing Australia a world-class designer in this industry:

• Products with a high level of personal comfort
• Testing for climatic durability
• Products with superior strength and mobility

Each product delivered to the end user is accompanied by a certificate of conformance and a certified test result proving ballistic performance.

Combat Clothing Australia products carry AS / NZS ISO 9001:2000 quality assurance and ballistic armour test certificates to National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standards 0101.03, 0101.04 and 0108.01.

BALLISTIC PROTECTIVE CLOTHING EXPORTS

Combat Clothing Australia operates on the principles of service, reliability, powerful research and development, stringent testing and quality assurance. Resulting from this attitude, Combat Clothing Australia has developed a substantial export market for its ballistic protective clothing within the Pacific basin.

Our range of body armour, hard armour insert plates and ballistic helmets are widely used in the Middle East, New Zealand, the Philippines, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and many other overseas countries.

PERSONAL AND VEHICLE BALLISTIC PROTECTION

In addition, our range of ballistic armour solutions for aircraft, vehicle and marine applications are also in use in those areas.

BALLISTIC PROTECTION RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Combat Clothing Australia is one of the only Australian-made and owned companies with the capability of manufacturing such a wide and varied range of ballistic protection military equipment and applications.

It has been through many years of research and development that Combat Clothing Australia has been at the leading edge of the manufacture of this type of equipment for so many years. Through this research and development, all products in our ballistic protection range provide one of the lightest, highest-performance solutions on the market today.

HELICOPTER BALLISTIC PROTECTION UPGRADES

Proudly and in conjunction with Helitech (a division of Sikorsky Aircraft), CCA is currently working on the ballistic protection upgrades to the army's fleet of Blackhawk and CH47 Chinook helicopters for use in the deployment and field operations of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Most recently, CCA has commenced its involvement in the capability and technology demonstrator program. This program will see CCA complete demountable armour strong points for armoured vehicles.

With that in mind, CCA has also partnered with Mack Trucks Australia in its proposal for Land 121 – Project Overlander.
