Title: Materials Development for Lighter E-SAPI Protection

Agency / Branch: DOD / NAVY

Contract: M67854-10-C-6511

Award Amount: $70,000.00

Abstract:
The E-SAPI specification describes the protection level of a soldier's body armor in response to an AP, M2 round. Presently this is addressed largely through the use of boron carbide plate inserts for an outer tactical vest. A unique materials architecture is proposed with the possibility of increasing the armor's ballistic mass efficiency and therefore allowing for the lowering of the armor weight. The Phase I Option will explore a modification to the assembly of this architecture.
