How to protect the men and women who protect us?
American soldiers are killed or injured every year from an ever-changing array of battlefield threats, which has our nation's military busy looking for new ways to keep them safe. Now the U.S. Army is tapping the expertise of the nation's top academic researchers to help develop better armor for our troops.
The Army has given $90 million to Johns Hopkins University, which is leading a team of researchers at Rutgers University, the University of Delaware and the California Institute of Technology, along with private companies and the military, to revolutionize the way protective armor is designed. The goal: to reduce the weight of body armor by 30 percent, while making it 50 percent more efficient.
