Long gone are those days when soldiers marching for the great wars during the Middle Ages used to wear chainmail and leather armor in order to protect themselves from spears, arrows, and blades. The advent of the modern era widely awakened humanity towards using advanced pieces of weaponry, and thus, firearms and body armour became highly in demand by every…
Body armour is known to save lives, and it is not easy to choose from the best of available options. Before choosing armour, the purpose of using it should be clear in the first place. Consider the perceived threats before buying the armour and the level of protection that you may need. Be battle-ready with the understanding and keeping yourself…
Helmets are one of the oldest protective elements to keep you safe from various threats along the way. Today, with an increased number of crimes and weaponry related accidents, threat protection helmets have quite a long way. Body armours made of ballistic protection armour materials and ballistic helmets are one of the major requirements in the military. Whether you’re overseas…
The military, being a genuine meritocracy, tries to treat everyone the same. When you have women in the military and you’ve finally reached a point where they’re so important as a population that the military couldn’t go to war without them, you have to start paying more attention. Women are already serving in various agencies such as the army and…
One of the military’s most recent investments is in a futuristic combat goggle that makes it possible for soldiers to see the battlefield in a brand-new way. These futuristic goggles that the soldiers are wearing sound like something out of a science fiction film, since they have the potential to transform battlegrounds. A heads-up display allows the soldiers to monitor…
Body armour, as you may be aware, is a type of protective ballistic gear worn to guard against small weapons fire, knife assaults, shrapnel, ricochets, and other projectiles, as well as other life-threatening hazards. Inside a plate carrier, also known as a “bulletproof vest,” body armour plates are deployed. Body armour comes in a variety of designs, shapes, levels of…

While a shirt may be worn to make a statement, tactical gears are worn to contain additional ammo and magazines, provide some amount of fire protection, or simply to better support a…
The army is no exception to the use of new technologies in all aspects of human existence. It’s been difficult to develop a full-body armour that fits the requirements of soldiers. The Exoskeleton protective system is one of the coolest innovations among modern armour systems. For so long, powered exoskeleton manufacturers have been frustrated by technological impediments. The processing necessary…
TBIs on the battlefield are mostly caused by ballistic impacts and exposure to shock waves from explosions. The use of high-explosive materials has recently increased the frequency of blast Traumatic Brain Injuries (bTBI) among military personnel and civilians. Insights into the mechanisms of TBI and brain damage thresholds is critical for understanding the influence of ballistic helmets and padding systems…
We live in troubled times, and it would be a mistake to imagine that the past was peaceful. Throughout history, various cultures developed personal protection equipment such as body armours to defend their people during times of strife. These technologies continued to improve in tandem with the advancement of weapons used in war and complex events. Ballistic vests and plate…
