Materials for Force Protection
Abstract
The Materials for Force Protection thrust is developing novel materials and materials systems that will greatly enhance performance against ballistic, blast, and chemical threats across the full spectrum of warfighter environments. Included in this thrust are energy management and armor approaches to address explosively formed projectiles and shaped charges as well as new novel approaches for containment and remediation of chemical agent threats. The thrust will also focus on novel topological concepts as well as entirely new structural designs and chemistries that will afford enhanced, sustainable protection, and functionality at reduced weight and/or cost.
