American Navy Specialists Developed transparent ceramics from which combat armor can be made new generation. The material is able to take almost any forms.
Bulletproof and light clay called “Spinel”. The material is laboratory-made from special synthetic powder. Its composition and production technology armored sheets are the strictest secret. Not surprising, that Americans don’t want to share their innovation with anyone – the development of ceramic armor took, according to the official information, several decades.
Researchers tried many methods before achieve the best result. First, armor was made under exposure to high temperatures and careful pressing, however the material was cloudy, making it an easy target for infrared locators.
United States military, of course, today have other effective ways to protect yourself and your bullets from bullets equipment, however, new armor, which is lightweight and considerable strength, can be a great addition to American military arsenal.
Innovative ceramics are supposed to replace glass armor that is used today in the us army to protect electronics, in particular laser equipment. IN further application of unique ceramic protection may be expanded depending on how unique this armor is easily amenable to integration into various military developments.
