Soldier-Borne Advanced Protection Materials
Abstract
Utilizing understanding of protection materials such as armor ceramics and associated failure mechanisms, conduct applied research of emerging armor materials to enable affordable design of lightweight ballistic protective systems for the future Soldier. Provide quantitative scientific basis for modeling and simulation that result in materials that utilize new lethal mechanisms/protection schemes for the individual Warfighter. This effort supports Soldier Protection Technologies bullet and small caliber lethal mechanisms research in PE 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology) / Project AY6 (Soldier Squad Small Arms Armaments Technology),
