Ballistic and Blast Protection
SRA 3 will concentrate research from 14 faculty on the critically
important strategic Soldier capabilities of blast protection
and ballistic protection. Recognizing the importance of blast
related Soldier injuries in current operations, we are increasing
the ISN’s efforts in blast protection. This will complement
and indeed enrich our ballistic protection research. In particular,
SRA-3 will direct considerable assets towards understanding
blast interactions with materials including human (brain)
tissue as well as various anthropogenic energy absorbing
structures including microframe structures that contain nano-trusses.
As shown in the following list, this SRA features three Themes
encompassing five projects.
Theme 3.1: Light Weight Nano-architectures for Ultra-strong
and Energy Absorbing Materials
Theme 3.2: Materials and Structures for Blast Protection and Injury Mitigation
Theme 3.3: Lightweight Nanocrystalline
Alloy Fibers for Blast Protection
