Lightweight Ballistic Composites: Military and Law-Enforcement
Applications, Second Edition, is a fully revised and updated
version of this informative book that explores the many changes in
composite materials technology that have occurred since the book's
first release in 2008, especially the type of commercial products
used by armed forces around the world. Some changes can be
attributed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, whereas others are
due to massive investment by private companies to neutralize the
ever-increasing global threats and fulfill the military's appetite
for lighter materials. Soldiers are now better protected against
new ballistic threats and the overall weight of body protection has
been reduced, while comfort has increased. New military vehicles
are no longer purely armored with steel, and are instead lined with
lightweight ballistic materials that increase the distance military
vehicles can travel without refueling and also improve
maneuverability. The book considers all aspects of lightweight
ballistic composites from fiber manufacturing to commercial
products and testing. Chapters also cover the many uses of
lightweight ballistic composites in the military and
law-enforcement industries. It will be an invaluable reference for
ballistic composite design engineers, product development
engineers, and all those involved in promoting new products for
both defense and the law-enforcement industry.
