tailieunhanh - Opportunities in Protection Materials Science and Technology for Future Army Applications

Armor materials are remarkable: Able to stop multiple hits and save lives, they are essential to our military capability in the current conflicts. But as threats have increased, armor systems have become heavier, creating a huge burden for the warfighter and even for combat vehicles. This study of lightweight protection materials is the product of a committee created jointly by two boards of the National Research Council, the National Materials Advisory Board (NMAB)1 and the Board on Army Science and Technology (BAST), in response to a joint request from the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology and the Army Research Laboratory. The committee examined the fundamental nature of. | Opportunities in Protection Materials Science and Technology for Future Army Applications Committee on Opportunities in Protection Materials Science and Technology for Future Army Applications National Materials Advisory Board and Board on Army Science and Technology Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS Washington .
