DKX MAX III Floating Armor

DKX Advanced Manufacturing has introduced a truly revolutionary thing in the world of personal protective equipment.

This is the so-called lightweight "floating armor", which withstands repeated bullet hits and is not sensitive to falls.

The product is a plate made of DSM Dyneema fiber and have NIJ Level III level of protection.

Also, a company spokesman Evan Anderson said that the company is now developing plates with a level of protection NIJ Level IV.

The company recommends using these plates in conjunction with the London Bridge Trading Company Ltd. (LBT) maritime tactical armor plate carrier.

I would also like to know the price and possibilities of mass production - at least - the order for equipping the marine corps is ready ...

Floating body armor?
The picture shows the traces of single shots AK-47?
Interesting development.

dents are marked
.45 ACP (11,43 × 23 mm, large-caliber pistol)
30-06 Springfield (7,62 × 63 mm, rifle)
.308 apparently Winchester (7,62 × 51 mm, rifle)

Very seriously. I wonder from what distance?

[timeout]

Armor Distances: 5 m for Type I, II-A, II, and III-A armors; 15 m
for Type III and IV armors. Here is a link to American standards NIJ Standard 0101.06 http://rghost.ru/51663423 on page 39. Draw your own conclusions.

lpd1 .... In terms of its performance characteristics, the product surpasses the existing world analogues ....

DO NOT, will not surpass! Under the "roof" of Medvedev - Chubais with Vekselberg in Skolkovo soon, this - by 20 ... they will create one that has no analogue in the world: super-nano-armor-anti-moisture and wet-flying and underwater floating "product"! just pay and wait, wait and pay. We are kind and patient. Vivat, Nanochubaysik!

Troops have been supplied since 2010 (4000 units were delivered then, in the year 13 deliveries continued, according to the commander of the Marine Corps.). Now, by the way, his new modifications have gone. And several others are made on its basis.

I looked at the first photo and thought it was foam spray-painted. It is interesting how much it costs to produce such a thing and how many years it has been developed.

[PANZER]

Forgot to write at what distance the armor plates were fired, hits from the AK-47 are especially interested

I thought about the same thing. Besides the fact that it is floating (which is really cool), I did not see anything new for myself. The armor holding the bullet of the 47th is not news, just what's the point, what doesn’t break through ??? Nobody has canceled the pre-acrony exposure, and this is still the main problem! There are effective lining and shock-absorbing linings, but they also save at a decent distance (I don’t remember the exact data, but this is not a problem, the Internet helps). I remember the Americans put their next cool armor on the tests, to a 40 liter empty plastic canister, they fired from AK meters from 100-150 meters ... the cool American armor did not break through. Then they were asked: "And what will happen if you put it (armor) on a man weighing 80-90 kg and repeat the experiment?" Well, they smiled, as they like, something wept and drifted quietly away ... somehow.

Well, then without a bronic, the problem of pre-exposure is not at all interesting, the problem is to bury only relatives and notify ...

Well, I'm not talking about that at all ... but to the comment about getting from AK, if you read it more carefully.

[ty60]

The kinetic energy of the bullet cannot be canceled. Having scattered it over the area, we’ll hit it across the entire chest. Multiply the mass by the square of speed, divide in half. Count for a different range. Objectively, from 100 to 300 meters. For AKM. The gun has a different bullet and the initial speed, RMB respectively rifle cartridge.

Yeah, but at "UTYOS" but in general it is different ... what is the point, here they flooded the pearls, which will keep 14,5))) But this is "only" 12,7 Arrived

[huginn]

It will withstand even with a heat-strengthened core, and the 4th level will withstand 14,5mm from 30 meters.
This is at the NIJ (National Institute of Justice, USA), Russian classes are different.

It will survive, only it will beat off all the liver.
Life may save, but a fighter will fail, plus at least two for evacuation. In short, the goal is achieved, three are removed from the battle.
Of course, it is humanism and all that, but in a war a soldier must run and shoot, at least. This is just the point for the police and anti-terror.
I feel sorry for everyone, but I, as a commander, would be better off losing one than three.

Your math is interesting.
What do you mean by the word "lose"? If this is not participation in a battle, then you can simply NOT a killed fighter in this armor be given a chance to wait for the evacuation by fighters of other units. This is at least a chance to survive.
You, as a commander, could not lose anyone.

The commander of what ?! You don’t even know the bulletproof vest device and what bullets it holds.

[ty60]

My friend, such a bullet will throw you away from your position. Quite far, and the patient will not be alive and not dead. Unequivocally incapable. Conclusions: effective only in close combat. Against the short-barreled

[Hon]

All modern bulletproof vests protect against armor injury as well.
a large number of injuries occur due to fragments, small fragments have kinetic inertia of the pistol bullet, body armor effectively protects them. in addition, a bullet flying a long distance loses energy. the same bullet can hit at an angle and ricochet from a bulletproof vest.

14,5mm, even from 30 m, even further. It rumbles so that the insides turn into porridge. Fatal, almost inevitable ...

You have confused the protection class for armored vehicles and body armor. 14,5mm is KPVT, do you think there are bulletproof vests capable of holding it? KPVT will tear a person along with body armor of at least 6th grade.

The 6A class keeps the armor-piercing field from the SVD at a distance of 5-10 m, while such armors weigh at least 15 kg, are not intended for permanent wearing, they are used only for special operations. The fighters who wear them are called "heavy"

A colleague is probably not entirely aware of what CPV is

I am moved by such pretentious words, the best in the world, there are no analogues in the world, it is probably only we have such a concept that there are no analogues in the world. "Well, how guys do not exist, somebody explain to me there abroad that fuckers are scientists, designers , customers of products, or they provide their army only with backward developments. And all developments that show immediately to the warehouse for storage with an inscription until better times.

[ramin_serg]

What do not say the thing is necessary but it seems so far very expensive.

[kot11180]

I can’t believe something, there are some laws of physics, some light material cannot withstand such huge energies, and the strongest metals do not always hold.

[shinobi]

Well, you know, iron itself doesn’t float or fly. Nevertheless, Papuans cannot be surprised even by ships and airplanes from steel. Moreover, with the advent of metamaterials, some laws can be circumvented. Indeed, the price issue comes first.

But what about high molecular weight polyethylene?
And if you make a honeycomb layered structure out of it?

[kot11180]

High molecular weight polyethylene has long been known, but I have not heard about armor from it, but aramids are still used (not counting metal and ceramic plates)

[kot11180]

And here airplanes and ships - they float and fly not at the expense of material but at the expense of construction, about laws - you won’t jump above your head

[chunga-changa]

This is zhir. The thicker the armor on the tank, the better it floats. And the ships from this will be just magical.

[bvi1965]

And life jackets for sailors are even better

[Perch_xnumx]

DSM dima is what - variations on dima and spectra. What is revolutionary about this product. How much will such a plate cost. When we already see the nanotube-based armor.

[REDBLUE]

Such a bronic is good for police or riot police to disperse a crowd. And in a real battle a soldier in such a bronic will be completely unprotected. More precisely, it is protected from bullet wounds, but the blow will be of such force that it would be better to immediately bullet than torment

[Hon]

Ceramics and plates made of aramid material are also thick, but they are used, they use a damper (chipper) to protect them from acne injuries (shell shock)

[120352]

The fact that IT is easier than water is progress! But it would be necessary to be lighter than air. Then it will be possible to drop troops not on planes and helicopters to the place of deployment, but directly on vests. It’s easy to bring down an airplane. And immediately a bunch of victims. But when a locust cloud flies on body armor - a strategically different situation! Here only shotguns will help. (joke)

[abrakadabre]

Immediately I remember the transportation of a large striped pink elephant from the cartoon "Koloboks are Investigating"

The principle of a tethered balloon. Then the fight against such an armored swarm will be fundamentally different - to shoot the leash and ballast so that the adversary will be blown away

[REDBLUE]

Everyone knows that g .... about. Therefore, my opinion is that this bronik belongs to the class that floats in water

[geto123]

Well, this bronik can be fastened to the frame so that the blow would not feel much like that)

Not much felt? Will you stand under a six-meter log falling from a height of one and a half meters?
But his kinetic energy is much less than that of a 14,5mm bullet

Which bullet? !!! You at least in pedivikii look what class that holds. And to protect against acronym injury there is a damper.

[Max otto]

I think that the chance of survival rises sharply with body armor than without it. There’s nothing to think about, it’s easier to heal an injury from a blow than to then sew up and re-cut the flesh and redraw the insides.
P.S. I even didn’t understand here, some trolls walked out, they all ousted everyone for an unknown reason, I corrected them as I could, but some garbage is incomprehensible.

[APASUS]

Well, there’s just no article!
The material is certainly interesting, but the author did not manage to reveal at least a bit of information. What happens when they invest in R&D, it seems to us to understand this ........ oh, it will be hard for our soldier!
