AARDVARK Tactical

AARDVARK Tactical is a specialized manufacturer and integrator of mission-critical tactical equipment for sworn law enforcement and military personnel. Based in La Verne, California, the company has spent nearly four decades developing field-proven gear that directly addresses operator safety and mission effectiveness.

AARDVARK doesn't operate like a typical retailer. They manufacture and curate tactical systems through their in-house sewing and manufacturing facility, handling everything from raw material sourcing to engineering and distribution logistics. Their focus is exclusively on government, federal agencies, state and local law enforcement, and Department of Defense units—all through agency procurement.

The company's catalog spans multiple operational domains:

• •Armor Platforms — Including the PROJECT7 ARMOR line, P7K9 Scalable K9 Body Armor (patent pending), P7 Ultralight Plate Rack (UPR), and P7 XTERNAL Patrol Vest (XPV)
• •Breaching Equipment — Including their field-proven Kinetic Breaching Tool
• •Hard Armor — Ballistic protection systems and components
• •Tactical Communications — INVISIO X7 In-Ear Headsets and related systems
• •Night Vision Devices — L3HARRIS AN/PVS-31A BNVD Kits
• •Less Lethal & Riot Control — Specialized equipment for crowd management and control
• •Mission-Specific Kits — Pre-configured sets for active shooter response, barricade operations, night operations, narco operations, and vehicle stopping
• •Tactical Electronics & Robotics — Including tactical sUAS platforms
• •Battle Gear — P7 B1X-V Ballistic Battle Belts and tactical cummerbunds

They also carry integrated systems from major brands including INVISIO, Combined Tactical Systems, Dark Systems, Paulson, and L3HARRIS.

AARDVARK's signature service model is their End-State Focused Integration process, a five-phase approach that covers Planning, Acquisition, Integration, Logistics, and Lifecycle Management. This framework means they don't just sell components—they work with agencies to develop complete, mission-specific turnkey systems and provide lifetime support after deployment. They've successfully implemented hundreds of government programs using this methodology.

The company holds multiple patents protecting their innovations:

They hold trademarks on AARDVARK, AARDVARK TACTICAL, and PROJECT7 ARMOR.

AARDVARK has worked with major agencies since the company's startup phase. They partner with Pasadena Police Department to protect the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl—events drawing over a million attendees annually—demonstrating their capability to support operations at scale.
