Developing a Modernized Ballistic Vest
公开可下载的内容
open in viewerContrary to popular belief, current ballistic vests are only bullet resistant and leave officers vulnerable to high caliber ammunition. These vests are preventative in nature and provide minimal additional protection once punctured. This project aimed to combat this shortcoming by implementing a hemostatic gel component to quickly clot bleeding following a gunshot wound. In addition, we developed a wire-grid bullet detection system equipped with a GPS locator intended to notify emergency services immediately after an officer’s vest is penetrated. The work of this project is vital to provide officers with additional protective measures which help to reduce the issues found in modern technology.
