Defense is the area that has always powerfully driven forward scientific and technological progress.

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

5. Bulletproof vest Dragon Skin (Dragon Skin)

Source: wordpress.com

Designed and manufactured by the American company Pinnacle Armor in Fresno (California). Features a lightweight, scaly design of the guards, bonded together in a way that provides both a high protection area and a comfortable fit. "Scales" are ceramic lamellar 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 bullets fired at close range from HK MP5, M16 and even AK. The bulletproof vest withstands up to 40 hits from the above types of weapons and the detonation of a hand grenade.

4. Non-lethal microwave gun ADS

Source: top5s.net

The Active Denial System (ADS) is designed to minimize future damage in military and police operations. It has already been nicknamed the "heat beam" 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-oven. At the same time, a 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 the muscular efforts of a person due to the external frame. The exoskeleton mimics human biomechanics for a proportional increase in effort during movement. The main direction in the development of exoskeletons is military (the desire to combine the firepower of a tank, which means a large weight of weapons and protection, with the mobility and size of a person). The HULC (Human Universal Load Carrier) system from Lockheed Martin is equipped with a two-kilogram lithium battery. The prototype shown recently in tests already allows you to carry a load of up to 90 kg for 1 hour at an average speed of almost 5 km / h and the possibility of short-term accelerations up to 16 km / h.

2. Nanotechnologies for security forces

Source: gitastudents.com

Thanks to the potential of nanoassembly and molecular engineering, which are already underway around the world, it will be possible to create invisible weapons that will be more dangerous than chemical and biological ones. In the course of hostilities, armies will destroy people, not military equipment or industrial enterprises. This type of engineering allows you to create a wide range of systems for law enforcement agencies: from effective bulletproof fabrics and materials, all kinds of micro-charges of "gaseous" explosives, combat atomic flying robots the size of a mosquito for the army, and to special molecular systems that recognize long "obsolete" fingerprints and codes DNA and performing the functions of wiretapping and covert surveillance - for law enforcement agencies.

X-ray "Dragon Skins"

The body armor is characterized by a scaly design of protective elements fastened together in such a way that it provides both a high area of ​​​​protection and wearing comfort. "Scales" are ceramic lamellar discs with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 6.4 mm made of silicon carbide A number of tests have shown that the "Dragon Skin" can successfully withstand repeated hits of bullets fired at close range from HK MP5 , M16 and even AK. "Dragon Skin" can withstand up to 40 hits from the above weapons and undermining a hand grenade.

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

Design

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

Advantages

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

Flaws

  • A high rate of SLCT (closed local contusion injury), which can lead to injury and injury to the user, even if the striking element does not penetrate the protective composition of the body armor.
  • Adhesive fastening of ceramic disks "Dragon Skins" does not withstand prolonged use at high temperatures, and after some time of use in a hot climate, if a bullet hits the vest (or other impact), the ceramic disks can separate from the substrate, which leads to a critical decrease in the protective properties of the bulletproof vest .

Field trials

Dragon Skin Field Test Results: Official tests conducted by the US Army failed, resulting in a ban on its use by US military personnel.

Nevertheless, 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 their operations.
