Our designs into the 21st legacy dates back to Richard Armellino, Sr., father of century with U.S. Armor’s current U.S. Armor president Stephen Armellino. breakthrough material blends and unmatched Richard founded one of the first body armor product quality. Now, companies in America, American Body Armor (ABA), many decades later, U.S. back in 1969. Richard, or Dick as his friends called Armor products have him, was a decorated WWII and Korean War pilot gone on to save the lives of who needed to wear heavy flak jackets to stay safe hundreds of countless law during his missions. Dick had a knack for innovation enforcement personnel. and a zeal for protecting those who put their lives in danger. Through years of research and development, At U.S. Armor, we take great pride in knowing Dick pioneered the very first patents and designs that our products not only positively affect the lives for what is commonly referred to today as “body ar- of the officers who wear them, but also those of their mor.” Stephen picked up where his father’s legacy left loved ones when they return home safely after a off by establishing U.S. Armor Corporation in 1986. life-threatening incident occurs on the job.

As statistics state, an officer who does not wear body armor is 14 times more likely to be fatally injured than one who does. We are proud to know that no officer has ever been fatally injured by a round while wearing a U.S. Armor vest (certified for that round of ammunition). This significant success has only been achieved by scrupulously using material that has proven not to fail. PURCHASING CONTRACTS — DHS/USBP | NASPO | GSA | New York State 7 5 YEAR WARRANTY OVER 30 YEARS IN BUSINESS MADE IN THE USA OUTLAST® FABRIC TECHNOLOGY — Outlast® technology, originally developed for NASA, utilizes phase-change materials (PCM) that absorb, store and release heat for optimal thermal comfort. Outlast® technology is the only phase-change material that carries the Certified Space Technology™ seal of approval. • Thermocules™ can be incorporated into fabrics and fibers and have the capacity to absorb, store and release excess heat • Thermocules™ pro-actively manages heat while controlling the production of moisture before it begins • As the skin gets hot, the heat is absorbed, and as it cools, that heat is released • Thermocules™ regulates the skin’s microclimate COPPER CUTECTM TECHNOLOGY — Copper is an essential nutrient in all plants and animals. The CuTEC™ technological breakthrough is based on utilizing the unique qualities of copper (elemental # 29) by permanently binding its proprietary copper compound to the textile fiber on the body-side of armor carriers.

  • Contemporary Personal Ballistic Protection (PBP)
    Chapter 8 Contemporary Personal Ballistic Protection (PBP) Izabela Luiza Ciesielska-Wróbel Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.69085 Abstract The review concerns existing contemporary protective equipment and their compo- nents serving against ballistic and non-ballistic threats of different sorts. The main focus, however, is on the personal ballistic protection (PBP) based on textile components and their role in the protective elements. Soft ballistic protections are crucial Soft ballistic protections are crucial elements of PBP, forexample in military and law enforcements. Although the subject of PBP was limited in this chapter to soft ballistic protection, other elements, e.g. hard ballistic protection, stab-resistant vests, dual threat, so-called in-con- junction protective elements, modern helmets, were also mentioned in this chapter to demonstrate positioning of the soft ballistic protection and other elements in the global personal protection approach. Apart from it, the chapter contains selected information concerning high-performance polymers and fibres as well as a brief notes about their application in protective panels being basic elements of any protective element. The final remarks concern the most up-to-date approach in relation to ballistic protection, which is immersing high-performance fibres into non-Newtonian liquid substances having the ability of ordering their chemical particles and changing into a high concentration and high segregation lattice under the influence of kinetic energy impact. Keywords: personal ballistic protection, soft body armour, hard body armour, dual threat, stab-resistant vests, bullet-resistant vests, protective panels, high-performance fibres 1. Introduction This chapter provides selected and the most up-to-date information concerning personal ballistic protection (PBP).

  • The Evolution of Plate Armor in Medieval Europe and Its Relation to Contemporary Weapons Development
    History, Department of History Theses University of Puget Sound Year 2016 Clad In Steel: The Evolution of Plate Armor in Medieval Europe and its Relation to Contemporary Weapons Development Jason Gill [email protected] This paper is posted at Sound Ideas. http://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/history theses/21 Clad in Steel: The Evolution of Plate Armor in Medieval Europe and its Relation to Contemporary Arms Development Jason Gill History 400 Professor Douglas Sackman 1 When thinking of the Middle Ages, one of the first things that comes to mind for many is the image of the knight clad head to toe in a suit of gleaming steel plate. Indeed, the legendary plate armor worn by knights has become largely inseparable from their image and has inspired many tales throughout the centuries. But this armor was not always worn, and in fact for most of the years during which knights were a dominant force on battlefields plate was a rare sight. And no wonder, for the skill and resources which went into producing such magnificent suits of armor are difficult to comprehend. That said, it is only rarely throughout history that soldiers have gone into battle without any sort of armor, for in the chaotic environment of battle such equipment was often all that stood between a soldier and death. Thus, the history of both armor and weapons is essential to a fuller understanding of the history of war. In light of this importance, it is remarkable how little work has been done on charting the history of soldiers’ equipment in the Middle Ages.
