Study Notes
Ballistic Shields
- Types of shields: soft shields, handheld shields, and trolley-mounted shields
- Modular design allows for customization and combination of shields for increased protection
Modularity Options
-
- Ballistic modularity: adding shields to increase protection level
-
- Shield wall modularity: combining shields for greater coverage
-
- NIJ IIIA protection level: 9mm and .357 mag capable, with 1205 fps and 1470 fps velocities
-
- Lighting systems: integrated lighting for low-light environments
-
- Camera with recording facility: under development for surveillance
-
- Mounts/weapon cutouts: custom mounts for stand-alone mode
-
- Provision for utilities and equipment: customization for user requirements
-
- Exoskeleton carrying system: for heavy shields, with weight distribution and comfort
-
- Handles and straps: multiple options for user comfort and maneuverability
Testing Process
- Ballistic testing: evaluating shield's ability to withstand bullets
- Impact testing: evaluating shield's resistance to projectiles or blunt objects
Bullet Types
- MSC (Mild Steel Core) bullets: soft steel core, used in armor-piercing rounds
- HSC (Hard Steel Core) bullets: hardened steel core, used in armor-piercing ammunition
- FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) bullets: soft metal core encased in harder metal jacket
