Soldiers are now better protected against new ballistic threats and the overall weight of body protection has been reduced, while comfort has increased. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew military vehicles are no longer purely armored with steel, and are instead lined with lightweight ballistic materials that increase the distance military vehicles can travel without refueling and also improve maneuverability. The book considers all aspects of lightweight ballistic composites from fiber manufacturing to commercial products and testing. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapters also cover the many uses of lightweight ballistic composites in the military and law-enforcement industries. It will be an invaluable reference for ballistic composite design engineers, product development engineers, and all those involved in promoting new products for both defense and the law-enforcement industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashok Bhatnagar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0081004060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780081004067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Woodhead Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Ashok Bhatnagar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013698924799,"sku":"9780081004067","price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c1d7041-1118-4998-9cd7-293c44d585a9.jpg?v=1767744214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lightweight-ballistic-composites-ashok-bhatnagar-9780081004067","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
