Sovereign Global continues to build on its track record in supplying the highest quality ballistic protection products to the United Nations and Sovereign States


Sovereign Global Solutions has been a provider of high quality helmets and bullet-proof ballistic protection vests since 2012. The United Nations and National armies providing troops to major UN Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) have, naturally, the highest requirements in terms of the quality, effectiveness and delivery of such products to protect their blue helmet forces. As testament to Sovereign Global’s service record in this area, our clients have repeatedly entrusted Sovereign Global as a preferred supplier over the years across many operations.

Building on years of experience, lessons learned and continuous improvement, Sovereign Global has developed its own brand ‘Armadillo’ (international registered trademark) for a variety of ballistic products, carefully designing, manufacturing and quality testing each element, selecting the best components from world-wide suppliers, and careful assembly by skilled personnel.

Sovereign Global has been a preferred supplier to UN troop contributing countries precisely because of our quality workmanship and attention to detail.  Our ISO 9001:2015 certified processes guarantee the highest possible quality through a rigorous quality control procedure covering bespoke design, careful component selection and skilful assembly. This process guarantees a quality product that personnel in high-risk environments can rely on, and gives us a competitive advantage over many of our competitors.

Since 2012, Sovereign Global has so far delivered the following ballistic protection products to UN PKO forces:

  • 5 800 helmets, NIJ armour protection Level V
  • 5 800 vests, NIJ armour protection Level IV with 5 years life expectancy

All the above ballistic equipment has been extensively inspected by the UN during order and delivery, and routinely after deployment: all strictly respect stringent UN quality controls following the international norms STANAG 2929 and MIL STD 662F.

Below is a list of the clients and PKOs we have supplied to date:
