BULLETPROOF VESTS

Bulletproof Vests

Abstract

The topic identifies the importance on “Bulletproof Vests” and how it is impacting on the security. It is a fact that the development of a bulletproof vest made of spider silk and nanotechnology was started in 2006 for potential commercialization. The paper discusses the marketing environmental factor that affects bulletproof vests.

Bulletproof Vests

Introduction

Recently, bulletproof vests have become important protective equipment for police. The current trend in bulletproof vest design is towards the development of high-strength materials. The structure of bulletproof vests has also been the main influence on their impact properties. Bulletproof vests used to be made of bulletproof ?bers, such as polyaramid ?ber, carbon ?ber, glass ?ber, ceramic ?ber, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene ?ber, and so on. Some bulletproof vests consisted of impact layers and cushion layers (Pontrelli, 2009).

Effect of fiber bulletproof layer and buffer layer was made of low-density fabric or granular materials. This study uses a non-woven fabric composite material to replace the original cushion material used in body armor to include polyamide fabric threads. This study used a layered structure to achieve the objectives of energy transfer and decay product of a sandwich structure.

Bulletproof vest is designed primarily to protect the chest, abdomen and back from the firing of a firearm by absorption made ??of tightly woven fibers, mostly Kevlar. This type of jacket can protect the user against small arms projectiles and long, and fragments from explosives such as grenades artifacts. You can drag and drop a plate of metal or ceramic sleeve for this purpose in the front and back of vests that can stop bullets, as the 5.56 mm NATO, but due to the increase in weight for the vest (Peterson. 2010).

Marketing Environment Forces

In the segment of law enforcement, there is a huge demand for body armor, ballistic shields and helmets, anti-trauma teams, non-lethal weapons, batons, fists, shotguns, pistols, super cars, night vision goggles, X-ray equipment to detect drugs and cell blocking call. Most of these items are produced in the country, but several officials and police have recently shown that the quality is not up to the level of those produced in the United States.



American producers of Safety Equipment have been successfully operating in the U.S., with about 50% import market, mainly in e-security. Financial institutions are most important to end-users of e-safety, and then industrial and commercial industrial commercial (Olsen, 2010).
