Chain-of-Custody Platform for Protective Equipment

Every vest, plate, helmet, and shield,
tracked to provable disposition.

ArmorTrack manages body armor and protective equipment across its full lifecycle on one verifiable custody record. Agencies own, track, maintain, and dispose of every vest and plate, with recall and service-life alerts built in, while manufacturers and distributors stand behind what they supply with truthful, verified claims, warranty, certifications, and recall support.

The Chain of Custody

Procurement ends at award. The chain shouldn't.

Most armor programs lose the thread the moment equipment is issued, inspections tracked on spreadsheets, warranties unmonitored, recall notices disconnected from real inventory. ArmorTrack replaces that gap with a single, append-only custody record: every event is added, never edited, and the chain closes only when disposition is proven.

Event-based, append-only

Manufactured, Shipped, Received, Issued, Inspected, Incident, Recall, Disposition, corrections are new events referencing the original, never edits.

Flip for proof
Every event
appended

Corrections reference the original, they never rewrite it, so the record holds up in audit and post-incident review.

Follow a full chain
Safety data always flows

Provenance, NIJ level, and recall status are visible to every custodian in the chain, non-configurable. Commercial data never moves without the owner's action.

Flip for proof
Safety on,
always

Provenance and recall status show to every custodian in the chain, while commercial data stays private to the two parties on the deal.

See who sees what
It ends at provable disposition

Retirement isn't the end. Retire, trade-in, recycle, or destroy, each path closes the chain with a verifiable certificate backed by per-serial proof.

Flip for proof
Closes only
at disposition

The chain stays open until end-of-life is proven, so no serviceable-looking armor ever quietly disappears from the record.

Layered Visibility

Everyone sees exactly what they should.

One chain, four vantage points. Pick a role and watch the same custody record redraw itself, safety always visible, commercial private, officer identities never travelling upstream.

As the agency you see the manufacturer of record, your direct supplier, and "via intermediate parties", with full control of your officers’ data.

The chain closes four ways.

Retired equipment has to go somewhere accountable. Improper disposal risks serviceable-looking armor reaching the wrong hands. ArmorTrack turns end-of-life into a tracked event with four paths, each closing the custody chain with proof. Pick one to see how it works.

Certified Destruction routes retired equipment to an IntelAlytic-certified facility and proves it was destroyed, per serial, evidence-backed, auditor-ready.

Questions

Frequently asked

What does "chain of custody" mean for body armor?+

Every piece of protective equipment (soft armor and vests, hard armor and plates, helmets, shields, and carriers) carries a verifiable, event-based history from manufacture (or mid-lifecycle registration) through issuance, inspection, recall handling, and final disposition. Events are appended, never edited, so the record stands up to audit and post-incident review.

Who can see what in the chain?+

Three layers. Provenance and recall status are always visible to every custodian. Chain topology is shown in summary and disclosed in full only by the segment owner's consent. Commercial data, POs, invoices, prices, is visible only to the two parties on that transaction and is never grantable through the chain. Officer identities stay inside the owning agency.

How do retirement, trade-in, recycling, and destruction work?+

Every end-of-life path is a tracked custody event. Retire removes an item from service while you retain it. Trade-In returns eligible armor to a vetted vendor for credit toward CPL-verified replacements, retiring the old serials the moment custody transfers. Recycle routes it to a partner that recovers the aramid, polyethylene, and ceramic into new non-ballistic products; Certified Destruction transfers custody to an IntelAlytic-certified facility where each serial is verified and destroyed. Recycling and destruction close the chain with a QR-verifiable certificate that resolves to the full record, priced per job.

Do I have to be an agency to use ArmorTrack?+

No. Manufacturers, distributors, and agencies each get a workspace tuned to their role, and officers can be invited to a scoped view of their own gear. Agencies can start with disposition services only and upgrade to full lifecycle management with zero re-entry.

What about NIJ recall notices?+

Notices are ingested from NIJ's advisory sources and fuzzy-matched to your actual inventory with confidence scoring, re-scanning on every inventory change. A recall notifies every custodian in affected chains without unlocking any identities or dates, notify-only.

It's free for agencies, how is that funded?+

Full lifecycle management, custody, inspections, incidents, recall matching, and the visibility model, is free for public-safety agencies, with no seat caps or feature gates. IntelAlytic is funded on the industry side: manufacturers and distributors get ArmorTrack with an ArmorList subscription, and certified disposal is quoted per job; your custody data is yours, and it exports on demand. There's no lock-in holding it hostage.

Can I bring in armor that was never tracked from day one?+

Yes. Most programs don't start at manufacture, so ArmorTrack lets any item enter the chain mid-lifecycle. Import a spreadsheet or scan what's on the racks; unknown serials register as mid-lifecycle and start accruing an append-only record from that point forward, even armor you're only registering so you can dispose of it accountably.

How is this different from an asset tracker or RFID system?+

Asset trackers answer “where is it and who has it.” ArmorTrack answers “prove what happened to it, and prove it's gone.” The difference is the append-only custody record, the layered visibility model that spans four organization types without leaking commercial or officer data, live NIJ recall matching, and disposition that closes with a verifiable certificate. RFID is on our roadmap as one more way to feed that record. Not a replacement for it.

The Standard

The verified knowledge base behind every decision.

Threat levels, materials, product types, kits, fit, legality, and end-of-life, cited, editorially reviewed, and connected to live NIJ advisories and the ArmorList catalog. Read any entry in your lens: consumer, officer, agency, business, or international. We don't sell armor here, we help you get it right.

Ask IRIS

An assistant that actually knows body armor.

IRIS answers across the whole platform, standards and testing, sourcing, lifecycle, legality, and how ArmorTrack works, and every answer is grounded in the verified library and linked to its source. It follows you from page to page, and it never guesses.

What's the difference between NIJ 0101.06 and 0101.07?
0101.07 replaces the old Roman-numeral tiers with a threat-referenced naming scheme (HG1/HG2 for handgun, RF1 to RF3 for rifle), adds a female-specific body-form test, and updates conditioning. It is published, but the Compliant Products List still reflects 0101.06, so verify listings carefully.
