Defense Industry is a very important sector with high responsibility. From this perspective, Dora is firstly a strategic research and project company and  a leading provider of specialist protection equipment to worldwide markets. Police and military forces of countries around the world select to work with us in order to meet their special needs. . The manufacturing company headquartered in Turkey,  has over 25 years of experience in specialist armour products and manufacturing and  has ISO 9002 certified manufacturing facilities.  

The company undertakes rigorous in house testing and research to continuously improve the products and services. It is  ensured that all the products are externally tested against NIJ, US Military and Nato Standards,  and are continuously batched during its life span.
Body armour for security, police and military, ballistic helmets, uniforms, additional plates are some of the examples of the police, military and security equipments than can be supplied worldwide.

In response to new weapons and armor innovations as well as to incorporate better testing methods, the standards play a major role to make decisions. NIJ certification is taken very seriously since it is recognized as the benchmark in the industry for ballistic vest protection levels. But, before you identify an appropriate level you need to be aware of a recent change in NIJ testing standards.

To say a ballistic vest is NIJ certified may not necessarily mean they provide the same level of protection. The NIJ for instance, certifies concealable ballistic vests for four different threat levels. (Higher NIJ levels are for non-concealable ballistic vests that also protects against rifles and greater dangers than handguns.) NIJ has changed the standards they use to test ballistic vests over the years. The last change was made in October, 2000 and the ballistic vests tested against, passed NIJ-standard 0101.04.

To say two ballistic vests are NIJ certified, however, doesn’t necessarily mean they provide the same level of protection. The NIJ certifies concealable ballistic vests for four different threat levels. (Higher NIJ levels are for non-concealable ballistic vests that also protects against rifles and greater dangers than handguns.) Our company is proud of supplying the ballistic vests in all the following levels.



• Level I offers the most basic protection. It’s the same ballistic vest issued during the NIJ demonstration project of the 1970s.
• Level II-A offers greater protection, from lower velocity 9mm and 40 S&W ammunition.
• Level II offers even greater protection like higher velocity .357 Magnum and 9mm ammunition.
• Level III-A is the highest protection available for concealable, ballistic vests. Level III-A protects against most handguns and all the weapons from the previous three levels.
