I guess Ares called it the RAD because RDPC doesn't sound as rad. Well, there's plenty of cool in the RAD (Rapid Armor Deployment) pack. It's a plate carrier disguised as a bookbag/backpack. It looks like it might fit someone's mission profile out there. Heck, if your local public school has metal detectors, get one for the kids. In the video, watch Dimitri, from Ares, deploy the system with hard plates installed. He isn't messing with the waist straps just to illustrate how quickly the system can be deployed in extremis. I guess you'd snap the front panel to the rear after a break in the initial contact.
From the Ares site: The Rapid Armor Deployment Pack is intended to allow one to become a true Sheepdog. You can go from being an average unnoticed citizen and in under 2 seconds deploy a full armor system with a weapon giving you an unexpected advantage over would be shooters or assailants.
