The US Army’s latest improvement to the soldier’s gear has finished its final round of field testing. The testing was conducted in mid-October by soldiers with the 71st Ordnance Group and the 10th Chemical Hazardous Response Company, at Fort Carson, Colorado. From an article at the Army News Service:

BAE Systems has announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding with a Canadian company called Helios Global Technologies to further develop liquid armor technologies. Although liquid armor developments have started a while ago (the early 2000s), this announcement from BAE Systems seems to be a move towards the creation of a certain military product.

Somewhat Firearm related. Kevlar helped to make soft armor and bullet proof vests a reality for law enforcement. Did you know the inventor was a woman?

Sruli Recht has designed a Kevlar handkerchief for those with more money to spend than they know what to do with.
