The U.S. air force test new transparent armor materials
According to reports in the periodicals, a us air force base, engineers are testing a new transparent armor material - nitrogen oxide. And military vehicles and aircraft compared to the current use multilayer transparent glass, a new type of armor materials, high strength, light weight, which can effectively prevent anti-vehicle weapon penetrates the bulletproof Windows of vehicles and aircraft.
It is reported, this is the nature of a new type of ceramic material, has the very high compression strength, after polishing can be used as a weapon and equipment of the transparent armor, has a strong impact resistant ability, to improve the transparency of armor materials, so that the soldiers with a broader and more clear vision. It is understood that the current test is mainly engaged in the fight against multiple of 12.7 mm bullet and improvised explosive device attack performance, at the same time try to lower the cost.
