Delta Three Oscar is revolutionizing the field of personal protective equipment (PPE) for military and law enforcement personnel. With a primary focus on delivering superior impact and blunt force trauma protection, their innovative products seamlessly integrate into helmets and tactical gear. In an exclusive interview, Mr. Todd Dunnagan provided valuable insights into the company’s vision and cutting-edge practices.
Made in the USA
Delta Three Oscar’s products are celebrated for their durability, lightweight design, and comfort. This ensures that users are not only protected but also able to perform their duties without any hindrance. Committed to high-quality local manufacturing, the company proudly produces its gear in the USA. They adhere to the Federal Trade Commission’s “Made in the USA” Standard. This approach guarantees precision, high standards, and supports local communities and economies. By keeping production domestic, Delta Three Oscar instills confidence and pride in its users.
Berry Amendment
A cornerstone of Delta Three Oscar’s operations is its adherence to the Berry Amendment, prioritizing the US Defense Industrial Base. This compliance is vital for maintaining production capacity and fostering innovation in domestic products. This way they ensure the safety and security of the armed forces. Their Berry-compliant production takes place at the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center in Blacksburg. This helps them reinforce their support for the Defense Industrial Base.
Innovating for the Future
Delta Three Oscar invests heavily in research and development, working closely with end-users to create top-tier protection solutions. This collaboration ensures that their products meet the real-world needs of military and law enforcement personnel. Additionally, the company partners with outreach programs and humanitarian organizations, underlining their mission to support and uplift those who serve.
Their significant presence at Virginia Tech University allows them to support academic research and gain valuable market insights. This continuous improvement approach keeps them at the forefront of innovation. This helps them create advanced protection solutions while also supporting their community and the environment.
Industry Partnerships and Community Support
Delta Three Oscar forges strong industry partnerships to enhance their product offerings and support community initiatives. Collaborating with the National Industries for the Blind (NIB), the largest employment resource for people who are blind, they support helmet suspension pad production and provide opportunities for blind individuals. Their partnerships with IFB Solutions and VisionCorps further this mission. Additionally, their collaboration with the Warrior Protection & Readiness Coalition (WPRC) advocates for warfighter equipment needs, and their involvement with Torn Warriors supports disabled veterans through motorsports and other activities.
