Generally, people think that the harder the material the better the protection, which is not completely right. To ensure complete security, you need to carefully choose from hard or soft body armor. This is possible only when you are aware of both the types of body armors and their features. Find the details of hard and soft body armors to choose the best one for you.

Hard Body Armor

Hard body armors are made of ceramic and ballistic steel and consist of a soft armor shell with a plate carrier and armor inserts. Also known as ballistic body armor, hard body armors are much stronger than soft armor due to the metal internal plate. These body armors are suitable for the people who want protection from high caliber rifle shots and tactical situations.

The only drawback of hard body armor is that these get hot when used for a long period of time. But this can be easily ignored in front of the benefits it has.

Soft Body Armor

Soft body armors, as their name suggests are comparatively softer than hard body armors. As these are soft, flexible and lightweight, one can easily wear them underneath a uniform. Soft bulletproof vests are made of fabric like materials with high strength level. Soft body armors are more suitable for police than soldiers as these bulletproof vests are used to stop the pistol-caliber ammunition.

South Korean Scandal Erupts On Military Body Armour After Recent Report

A recent report found that the Ministry of National Defence’s military body armour was unable to stop any North Korean bullets, and because of that, it’s caused a South Korean fraud scandal to erupt.

The Board of Audit and Inspection issued the report saying the MND offered special treatment to one company, which supplied the South Korean military with penetrable military body armour. The report doesn’t name the company, but according to the South Korean media, it’s Samyang Comtech, a company based in the country’s capital – Seoul.

The report said an analysis of the rounds shows the North Korean army uses both common rounds and Armour Piercing rounds. In June 2015 test results, the company’s body armour was AP-penetrable.

Samyang Comtech has yet to comment about the report.

What The South Korean Military Did For Military Body Armour

In 2007, the South Korean military put together a project to create Liquid Armour, which is an innovative kind of bulletproof armour that can stop AP rounds and common rounds effectively. In October 2011, the project was abruptly halted and the explanation from the MND was that the liquid armour wasn’t suitable for use.

However, the investigation from the Board found the real reason for the sudden shutter: an MND official was “in bed” with Samyang. The secret agreement allowed the company to become the sole military body armour supplier for the South Korean military.

The investigation also revealed Samyang Comtech had lobbied MND to reduce the Required Operational Capability to maintain its monopoly. A reduction in this ROC meant bulletproof vests were no longer bulletproof from the AP rounds the North Korean military uses.

The report found Samyang would have given over 300,000 failed vests to the South Korean military until 2025, costing around $240 billion in U.S. dollars (270 billion in Korean Won).

According to military experts, there are two key reasons behind the production of inappropriate body armour.

Kim Dong-Kyu is a former military advisor for the country’s National Defence Committee and said not setting the right DOC before the production is what causes the trouble the South Korean military is currently in.

A civilian military advisor with South Korea and international authorities said logistic issues, like uniforms and body armour, can only be manufactured by a minute number of companies that former military personnel own. The advisor said this kind of set up means there’s no impartial competition.

The MND recently announced it would look closely at the inspection results and implement in measures that ensure that military body armour keeps the wearers safe.

That really is power walking: US Marines to trial 'battery pants' that charge as they march

The US Marines are testing radical new pants that will give them 'power on the go'. Called PowerWalk, this light-weight, leg-mounted design harvests energy from the natural action of walking.

Users can generate 10 to 12 watts while wearing the device and after an hour-long walk, they can create enough electricity to charge four smartphones.

PowerWalk is the brainchild of Canada-based Bionic Power, which developed the exoskeleton to help reduce the number of batteries soldiers need to carry on missions to provide more space for essential field gear.

'A soldier typically carries 16-20lbs in batteries on a 72-hour mission,' says Noel Soto, U.S. Army Systems Engineer at the Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center.

'If a soldier can generate power with wearable energy-harvesting devices, it means we can not only reduce the weight on his or her back, we also minimize the unit's reliance on field resupply, making it possible for us to extend the duration and effectiveness of a mission.'

A gearbox transforms the knee's rotational speed to a higher speed for efficient power generation and a generator converts the mechanical power into electricity.

Then a 'state-of-the-art power-conversion' circuit converts the electricity for battery charging which gives proves the charge for Li-ion or NiMh batteries.

Army to roll out better body armor, combat shirt in 2019

In 2019 the Army expects to roll out a new, lighter body armor system. The armor will provide at least as much protection as today's system, but with more comfort, and greater flexibility to adjust based on the mission, Army officials said.

The Torso and Extremities Protection, or TEP, program cleared the engineering and development phases last summer and will move into a few years of limited production and testing. During that time and beyond, technology advances may be integrated.

Already, improved ballistics materials have allowed the Army to cut the weight of TEP when compared to the Army’s current heavy-duty option, the Improved Outer Tactical Vest. The IOTV, when loaded with heavy plates, weighs about 31 pounds, while a comparable TEP system checks in at about 23 pounds, or 26 percent lighter.

“That’s the main mantra of this program: to be the next generation of body armor at a lighter weight,” said Lt. Col. Kathy Brown, the program manager for Soldier Protection and Individual Equipment at Program Executive Office Soldier.

Brown said the Army pushed with industry to reduce weight while meeting future threats. In addition, the ability to add and subtract different elements and plate inserts in the vest is a real "highlight," Brown said. .In addition to TEP, the Army is developing new body armor plates and a new head protection system.

Soldier feedback has already played a major role in the development of TEP, Brown said. Trials by soldiers at three different installations, as well as by Marines and special operations units, provided design advice and feedback. Brown said that ultimately helped produce a system earning a 95 percent positive feedback.

“One great aspect of the Soldier Protection System is we really listened to the voice of the customer, the soldier,” Brown said. “Based on feedback from the soldier we were able to make design changes.”
