HES Researcher Develops Body Armor Systems
Wednesday, December 15, 2004 (115 reads)
A researcher at OSU has developed two new body armor systems to offer soldiers more protection against injuries to their arms and legs. The two prototypes are on display for military decision makers this week at the International Soldier Systems Conference in Boston. Dr. Donna Branson, head of design, housing and merchandising, says she began developing prototypes in May with a partner company, FSTechnology, LLC., and OSU's funding partner, the Naval Research Laboratory. One prototype is designed to provide protection against ballistic damage to the arms and legs, while minimizing heat stress and weight. The second model covers a larger area of the body to provide a higher level of protection. You can find more at http://www2.okstate.edu/pio/prototype1a.html
