X-ray "Dragon Skin"

The body armor has a scaly design protective elements, fastened together in such a way as to provide both a high area of ​​protection and comfortable wearing. The "scales" are 50mm diameter, 6.4mm thick ceramic plate discs made from silicon carbide. A number of tests have shown that the "Dragon Hide" can successfully withstand multiple hits from bullets fired at close range from the HK MP5, M16 and even AK. “Dragon Skin” can withstand up to 40 hits from the above types of weapons and a hand grenade blast.

The body armor is available in the following versions: SOV-2000 (III level of protection) and SOV-3000 (IV level of protection). SOV-2000 costs from $5,000 per unit as of 2011.

Design

The bulletproof vest consists of a cover and a protective package placed in it. It should be noted that in design and layout the body armor is very similar to the Soviet body armor ZZL-74 (lightweight protective vest), consisting of aluminum plate disks of a similar shape.

Advantages

• High area of ​​bulletproof protection
• Comfortable to wear - the protective bag is relatively flexible
• High survivability of bulletproof protection - if the adhesive composition on which the discs are attached (see disadvantages) can hold the discs in place.
• Light body armor weight - from 6 to 8 kg.

Flaws

• A high rate of CLCT (closed local contusion injury), which can lead to injuries and injuries to the user, even if the striking element does not penetrate the protective composition of the body armor.
• The adhesive fastening of the Dragon Skin ceramic discs does not withstand long-term use when high temperatures, and after some time of use in hot climates, when a bullet hits the vest (or other impact), it is possible for the ceramic discs to separate from the substrate, which leads to a critical decrease protective properties body armor.

Field tests

Results of field tests of the “Dragon Skin”: The body armor failed official tests conducted by the US Army, which resulted in a ban on its use by US military personnel.

However, the body armor is used by: PMCs operating in Afghanistan, some special forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, nine senior officers and their bodyguards, the Secret Service. The CIA also uses body armor in its operations.

Defense is an area that has always powerfully propelled scientific and technological progress forward.

Today, technological progress “in gratitude” offers the military the most daring developments, bordering on outright fantasy. Before you are only the five most “promoted” areas of such research.

5. Dragon Skin Body Armor

Developed and manufactured by the American company Pinnacle Armor in Fresno (California). It features a lightweight scale design of protective elements fastened together in such a way that it simultaneously provides a high area of ​​protection and is comfortable to wear. The “scales” are ceramic plate-like discs with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 6.4 mm. Tests have shown that the Dragon Skin can successfully withstand multiple hits from bullets fired at close range from the HK MP5, M16 and even AK. The body armor can withstand up to 40 hits from the above types of weapons and the explosion of a hand grenade.

4. Non-lethal microwave gun ADS

Source: top5s.net

The ADS (Active Denial System) system is designed to minimize future damage during military and police operations. It has already been nicknamed the “heat ray” and the “microwave gun.” The “shot” of such a “gun” produces the effect of a wave of very hot air released from a hot oven. At the same time, the person receives a very noticeable electric shock. Tests have shown that everyone who falls under the influence of ADS shows the same reaction - they flee. The range of ADS is about one kilometer.

3. HULC exoskeleton

Source: wordpress.com

This device is designed to enhance human muscular efforts through an external frame. The exoskeleton follows human biomechanics to proportionally increase effort during movement. The main direction of development of exoskeletons is military (the desire to combine the firepower of a tank, which means heavy weight weapons and protection, with the mobility and size of a person). Lockheed Martin's HULC (Human Universal Load Carrier) system is equipped with a two-kilogram lithium battery. The prototype shown recently during testing already allows you to carry a load of up to 90 kg for 1 hour with average speed almost 5 km/h and the possibility of short-term accelerations up to 16 km/h.

2. Nanotechnology for security forces

Thanks to the potential of nanoassembly and molecular engineering, which is already underway in different countries world, it will become possible to create invisible types of weapons that will be more dangerous than chemical and biological ones. During military operations, armies will destroy people, not military equipment or industrial enterprises. This type of engineering makes it possible to create a wide range of systems for law enforcement agencies: from effective bulletproof fabrics and materials, all kinds of microcharges of “gaseous” explosives, combat atomic flying robots the size of a mosquito for the army, and to special molecular systems that recognize long-outdated fingerprints and codes DNA and performing the functions of wiretapping and covert tracking - for law enforcement agencies.
