NEXT-GENERATION BALLISTIC SHIELDS
360º Rotating Grip System
More Mobility | Less Fatigue
ENHANCED OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
ENHANCED MOBILITY
Enables fast and seamless transitions between positions, allowing operators to adapt quickly while maintaining a more comfortable and ergonomic stance.
GREATER CONTROL
Improves shield handling and stability in frontal, lateral, high, and low protection positions.
FUTURE-READY
Designed to support the integration of lighting systems, communications equipment, and other electronic accessories.
REDUCED FATIGUE
Reduces muscular strain during extended deployments by allowing the shield to move naturally with the operator's arm.
BEYOND THE TRADITIONAL SHIELD
For decades, ballistic protection has continued to evolve. Yet the way operators physically interact with their shields has remained largely unchanged.
Traditional grip systems force the operator to adapt to the shield, increasing fatigue, limiting mobility, and reducing effectiveness during prolonged deployments.
KNAPCORE was created to change that.
REVOLUTIONARY SHIELDS
KNAPCORE technology incorporates a 360° rotating grip system that allows the shield to move naturally with the operator.
The result is more intuitive handling, reduced physical strain, and significantly improved maneuverability in demanding operational environments.
The system is available on both ballistic and riot shields.
PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION
Carbon fiber and Kevlar® components engineered to deliver exceptional strength, reduced weight, and superior operational performance.
EXTREME DURABILITY
High-strength engineered polymer components with reinforced construction for maximum robustness and long service life.
TECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION
The rotating grip is only the beginning. We continue developing new capabilities for the next generation of protective systems.

The system transforms the shield into a more dynamic, ergonomic, and adaptable tool for the operator.
Key benefits include:
• Controlled 360° rotation with a quick-release locking mechanism.
• Improved shield control across multiple protection positions.
• Reduced physical fatigue during extended deployments.
• Fully ambidextrous operation with intuitive controls.
• Integrated electronics through a slip-ring system.
• Quick-release forearm support for emergency situations.
• Removable grip assembly for easier transport and shield stacking.
The system has been designed for integration into both riot shields and ballistic shields used by tactical and intervention units.
Its modular architecture allows adaptation to different operational requirements and protection levels.
The rotating grip allows the shield to move naturally with the operator, improving ergonomics and facilitating transitions between different protection positions.
This results in greater comfort, improved shield control, and reduced physical strain during prolonged operations.
Yes.
The integrated slip-ring system enables the use of lighting systems, communication devices, and other electronic accessories without external cables that could interfere with operations.
Yes.
The system is protected through national and international intellectual property rights.
It currently benefits from granted protection in Spain and an international patent application designed to secure exclusivity in key strategic markets.
KNAPCORE technology was born from real-world operational challenges identified through years of frontline experience in high-demand environments.
Every component has been designed with one objective in mind: improving operator protection, mobility, and effectiveness in the field.
