Open Access
|Jul 2017

Abstract

The new female bulletproof vest was designed with a superior female fit, this body armour providing a good balance between protection and comfort. One of the new issues in designing the female ballistic vest consists in taking into account the shape and bras size of Romanian female body, based on anthropometric survey using the 3D scanner technology. This bulletproof vest will provide comfort and mobility with the same or superior ballistic resistance properties versus standard body armour equipment. The ballistic performance parameters have been evaluated, in agreement with the international standards, in specialized laboratories of the Romanian MoD.
