The U.S. Army Is Working on Body Armor That Is 14 Times More Powerful

A game-changer or a dud? Let's find out.
Surviving direct-hit enemy bullets to the chest, stopping hot metal fragments from IED explosions, and protecting heads from otherwise catastrophic combat collisions - are all known advantages of U.S. Army soldier body armor.

1:00 really odd question but that looks like a british regimental badge and British scrim?

[@krunglebung8993]

It is... We dont wear tassles on our helmets we have smooth camo helmet covers

[@nanzistnt2573]

Some army (im guessing infantry or at least combat arms) wear shitty camo netting (look up gulf war marines cutting camo nets for helmet scrim). Its not as good as the British scrim which is actually intended for a helmet where theirs is just makeshift.

A few layers of a new material called "graphene" could hugely increase the protectivity of any kind of military armor - whether it is vehicular or for a single soldier, with a negligible increase in weight.

In a few decades soldiers will be able to wear armor over most of their body and itll be lighter than a vest with plates.

[@patricofritz4094]

Few decades more like 2030 with UHMWPE armor soldiers can cover 80% of their body armor at just slightly heavier than a full vest with plates and helmet .However you are right in the future like 2050/2060 we will see fully armored soldiers with lighter stronger armor and exoskeletons

I was at 316 cav bde, and I never did this type of training they did

[@jpitt]

The front plate is about 20lbs the back plate is 10lbs.

[@rickylafleur9601]

How can body armour be powerful?

[@codewolf8971]

Ahhh yes better tecnologi

[@carolannmiles-hughes6222]

Just go back to old fashioned chain male. ( Pun, "play on a word")

[@patricofritz4094]

Liquid armor with glass particles could be the new chainmail
