Book excerpt: Over the past thirty years, significant technological improvements have been made in materials need for ballistic protection. Incorporations of this cutting edge body armor technology will pay off with reduced thermal burden, diminished aircrew fatigue, and increased human performance. A review of existing work done by the US Navy and US Army on body armor was completed. The US Army's Survival and Rescue Vest Integrated packets (SARVIP) program has completed the entire acquisition process and is in full scale development. Regarding the requirement for body armor, AFSOC chose to purchase off-the-shelf body armor that met their needs. AFSOC's special missions group assessed the US Army test and evaluation data, and the integration of off-the-shelf armor with SARVIP in the aircraft in which the crews would be flying. Armstrong Laboratory's Crew Technology Division (AL/CFT) recommended that the LPU-21/P/P be integrated with the SARVIP and engineering drawings were developed for attachment points on the vest. It was therefore concluded that the current commercially available body armor technology, need in combination with the US Army's SARVIP equipment, when modified as specified by AL/CITS, will meet AFSOC requirements.

Download or read book Ballistic and Spall Tests for Aircrew Body Armor written by and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new integrated body armor carrier system is designed to reduce spall when the armor plate is impacted by .30 caliber small arms fire. Ballistic tests, when compared to previous data, showed this system exhibited greater spall suppression than the standard aircrew armor in use in Vietnam. Spall suppression was also comparable to that provided by the heavier aircrew armor vest previously recommended as a replacement for the standard item. Results indicate that the new vest-carrier system made of nylon 128 should be type classified as Standard 6A6. Injury by flying spall has been reduced, but a continuing program is needed to establish advanced design criteria, textile and other material capabilities to suppress all spall, generated from obliquity strikes on aircrew armor by .30 caliber small arms fire.
Download or read book A Human Factors Engineering Assessment of an Anatomically Conforming Aircrew Body Armor System written by Bernard M. Corona and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anatomically conforming, four-size, aircrew body armor (ACBA) system, developed by US Army Natick Laboratories, was assessed to determine its compatibility with Army aviator body sizes, flight task requirements and aircrew station geometry. As a base for all comparisons the standard three-size, aircrew body armor (SBA) system was used. Where possible an attempt was made to integrate and utilize elements of the HEL Armor System Development /Evaluation Guideline, TM 18-69. Thirty enlisted men and six officer pilots were used as subjects. As a result of this HFE assessment it has been determined that the ACBA system was not suitable as proposed, the SBA system has serious shortcomings, and the HEL TM 18-69 cannot be utilized for the development or evaluation of body-worn armor systems.

Download or read book BODY ARMOR FOR AIRCREWMEN written by and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body armor which protects Army aircrews of low-flying aircraft against 7.62 mm/caliber .30 AP small arms ground fire has been developed by the U.S. Army Natick Laboratories. The armor utilizes a relatively lightweight composite of ceramic bonded to fiberglass. The U.S. Army Natick Laboratories improved on earlier ceramic composite armor made of flat, multiple ceramic tiles by developing separate front and back one-piece composite panels which are curved to fit the torso. A cloth carrier with large front and back pockets was designed to hold the armor panels, permitting the airman to wear the armor comfortably and without interference with his operations. Experimental armor for leg protection against small arms weapons has also been made of the ceramic composite.
