    INTRODUCTION

    Ballistic protection includes clothing, vests, armours, and helmets, as well as vehicle structural strengthening. Ballistic protection is provided by textiles such as woven, knitted, and nonwoven ones, as well as laminates and composites. Ballistic protective clothing is designed and manufactured with the danger type (knife, handgun, assault rifle bullet, high-velocity bullet) and level of protection in mind. According to these criteria armour constructions may be made from ceramic plates, specific fibres, and textile structures, laminated or coated textiles, or composites. 

     

    Sensitive political and social issues are creating internal as well as external tensions across the world. Governments of such countries are increasing their defense budget to equip their military and citizens with advance ballistic protection.

    Research and experiments are being done with advanced composites, to improve vehicle and body armour, providing lighter and more effective protection from varieties of threats.

     

    It is important to have ballistic protection to keep the personnel’s body and eyes safe from a wide range of projectiles. Soldiers, police officers, and others in law enforcement and security need this kind of protection. Textile materials now give the same level of ballistic protection as metals while having a relatively low weight and so being pleasant to wear. Historically, ballistic protection systems were composed of metal and were therefore too heavy to wear. 

     

    The majority of people are killed in military conflict or unintentional explosions because of the flying debris that is created when the explosion hits the body. The ballistic performance of a material is determined by its capacity to absorb energy locally and by the efficiency and speed with which it transfers the acquired energy. Initially, ballistic protection was provided by fabrics such as woven silk. However, high-modulus fibres based on aliphatic nylon 6,6 had a higher degree of crystallinity and were less elastic.

    BALLISTIC PROTECTION MARKET DYNAMICS

    Since the attack methods of shooting weapons and stabbing weapons are not primarily intended against the human being himself in this context, penetration-inhibiting materials are utilised largely for personal protection for soldiers. Firearms-related property damage isn’t as common. Priority must be given to safeguarding the most critical assets in this area, including radars, computers, energy installations, and control facilities 

     

    Ballistic protection systems have a bright future in Asia Pacific, because to the region’s strong economic development and rising defence spending in nations like India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Governments and local companies in these nations are also negotiating contracts with contractors and helping them through the procurement process by providing essential financial and infrastructure supports. The frequency of rebel organisations infiltrating the territories and deploying lethal devices like as IEDs and bombs has increased the necessity for ballistic defence systems.

     

    Increasing soft armour needs are forcing firms to seek out new and lighter materials to meet the market’s difficulties, and this is fuelling product development, which is critical for the market’s competitiveness. Vehicle armours also provide a major contribution to the total market and are projected to expand at a large rate during the forecast period because of their exceptional ability to withstand strong penetrating ballistic impact.

     

    As a result of rising terrorist activity and higher defence spending, the worldwide ballistic protection market is seeing a rise in demand for ballistic protection equipment as well as an increase in the use of light and composite materials for ballistic protection. Market development is hampered, however, by high ballistic equipment costs and hefty weight of the gear. Instead, the growth in demand for ballistic-resistant aerial vehicles, personal protection equipment, and high-strength materials is opening up new opportunities in the sector.

    RECENT MARKET TECHNOLOGICAL TRENDS

    As the name implies, ballistic protection gives defence against many projectile types including bullets and fragment grenades. Ceramic, carbon fibre composites, aramid, Lexan, and glass are all used in ballistic protective systems. Tank armour employs ballistic protection to keep missiles and anti-tank guns from penetrating the tank’s body. Ballistic defence also includes personal protective equipment like ballistic helmets and bulletproof vests to guard against incoming projectiles. 

     

    The most recent development has been the High-performance clothing used for ballistic protection dissipates the energy of the flying particles by stretching and breaking the yarns and transferring the energy from the impact at the crossover points of yarns.

     

    Ballistic impact models, such as those based on UHMWPE-based composites, have been proposed over the years in various forms. These high-performance fibres have a low density, high tensile strength, and great energy absorption. For materials to function well in a projectile launch, they need to be capable of both absorbing and distributing energy quickly and effectively.

     

    Antiballistic capabilities have also been proven by composite systems that combine a high-performance antiballistic fibre with a shear-thickening colloidal dispersion. A shear-thickening fluid is one that becomes thicker when pressure is applied to it. STFs are commonly made using a corn-starch and water combination.

     

    STF-treated Kevlar fibres outperform untreated Kevlar in ballistic testing by a factor of 250. Dow Corning’s Deflexion brand of STF-enhanced textiles is already in production for various uses. The protective power of typical aramid-based multi-layered ballistic fabrics designed to defeat high-velocity ballistic impacts can be improved if wool is incorporated into the weave structure. 

     

     

    RECENT ACQUISITION IN BALLISTIC PROTECTION MARKET

     

    The purchase of the ballistic protection division of 3M by Avon Rubber P.L.C. has been finalised. The section, which is a part of the advanced materials industry, offers ballistic helmets, flat armour, body armour, and related helmet attachments for police enforcement.

     

    The English rubber manufacturer first priced the sale at $91 million and indicated that the final sum could rise depending on the results of pending contract bids when it first declared its intentions to buy the subsidiary.

     

    Avon, which currently provides protection masks to the military and law enforcement forces in the United States and around the world, claimed that the acquisition constituted a very alluring prospect.

     

    The company’s expansion into international military and law enforcement sectors will be facilitated by its inclusion in the Avon Protection portfolio.

     

    They will gradually and carefully transfer the crucial company operations to Avon. The company will continue to run as usual as a stand-alone business alongside Avon Protection during this transitional period.

     

    Recall that the company is the top supplier of next-generation armour, including ballistic helmets and body armour plates to the United States Department of Defense Soldier Protection System as well as a supplier of helmets and body armour to customers in the rest of the world’s militaries and law enforcement agencies.

     

     

    BALLISTIC PROTECTION MARKET COMPETETIVE LANDSCAPE

    On being faced with the problem of having to protect oneself or a certain space, the first important step is to precisely define the threat against which the protection has to be effective. There should be no compromise on troop comfort while developing military e-textiles.

     

    Inherent nature of clothes combined with electronics to accomplish desired levels of protection for soldiers may, however, impact comfort. Depending on the garment’s thickness, material and design, body heat and sweat are retained inside the garment, increasing the risk of heat and moisture build-up. 

     

    Du Point Solutions has been part of the development of varied levels of ballistic protection required depending upon the facing firepower and enemy mortified strength on the opposite requirement. Kevlar fibres created by DuPont are stronger and lighter than earlier versions, according to the company.

     

    The DuPont and third-party lab testing show that the first two to three layers of an 11-layer vest are effective in stopping 44 Magnum bullets fired from that calibre. While this is remarkable, DuPont claims it can accomplish so with 10% less weight and 15% less back face distortion, resulting in less blunt force injuries to those wearing the vest.

     

    Despite the fact that a 10% weight reduction may not seem like much, police officers and soldiers appreciate the convenience of a lighter vest, especially while carrying dozens or even hundreds of pounds of additional equipment.

     

    Carbon nanotube fibres woven as a cloth or incorporated into the polymer matrix composite materials are also reported to improve the ballistic performance and enhance stiffness, strength, and toughness against the most aggressive ballistic threats has also been focused by the company

     

    BAE Systems International has been focused on prevising major protection system against possible full scale ballistic explosion in the battlefield. BAE Systems’ ground vehicle seating systems are designed to protect troops from improvised explosive devices, collisions, convoy accidents and rollovers. It makes sure of the proper placement of occupant protection safety systems and offers unique energy-absorbing seating systems for improved comfort and maximum protection.

     

    It provides a durable configuration qualified for the Bradley and M109 family of vehicles. The seat is equipped with a two-point restraint and with a resettable and can aid in possible ingress and egress patterns as required by the installation infrastructure being mobilised in the battlefield.
