This book was released on 2004 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 17, 2003, the Attorney General announced the US Department of Justice's Body Armor Safety Initiative As part of that initiative, he directed the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to undertake a comprehensive body armor testing program and provide a status report in 90 days. The following is a status report on the NIJ body armor testing currently underway. Lightweight body armor has been widely available for use by law enforcement personnel for close to 30 years. The lives of more than 2,700 police officers have been saved as a result of body armor. In the early 1970s, NIJ initiated a research program to investigate the development of lightweight body armor that police could wear full time. The NIJ development project was a four-phase effort that looked at Kevlar (trademark) fabric and whether it could stop a bullet, the number of layers of material necessary and factors that could degrade the armor (e.g., moisture, ultraviolet light, dry cleaning agents, etc.), medical testing to determine required performance levels of armor, and field testing to determine wearability and effectiveness. Field testing was conducted with 5,000 armors that were provided to 15 urban police departments. The first armor "save" occurred less than 6 months later, and during the 1-year demonstration period, 18 shooting incidents occurred in which body armor successfully protected the officers. Subsequently, and at the request of the law enforcement community, NIJ developed a voluntary body armor standards and testing program to verify the performance and safety of body armor. While NIJ's program relies on voluntary participation by manufacturers, most police departments require that armor be tested by NIJ and found in compliance with the NIJ standard before they will purchase the armor. The NIJ standard specifies minimum requirements that body armor must meet to be suitable for law enforcement use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firearms are one of the leading causes of deaths for law enforcement officers feloniously killed in the line of duty. Since FY1999, Congress has provided funding to state and local law enforcement agencies to help them purchase armour vests for their officers. The Matching Grant Program for Law Enforcement Armor Vests (BVP program) provides grants to state, local, and tribal governments to purchase armour vests for use by law enforcement officers and court officers. This book provides an overview of the BPV program. It also provides a FAQ section for the BVP program; and a status of DOJ's efforts to address GAO recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 17, 2003, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced the U.S. Department of Justice's Body Armor Safety Initiative in response to concerns from the law enforcement community regarding the effectiveness of body armor in use. These concerns followed the failure of a relatively new Zylon(trademark)-based body armor vest worn by a Forest Hills, Pennsylvania, police officer. The Attorney General directed the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to initiate an examination of Zylon(trademark)-based bullet-resistant armor (both new and used), to analyze upgrade kits provided by manufacturers to retrofit Zylon(trademark)-based bullet-resistant armors, and to review the existing program by which bullet-resistant armor is tested to determine if the process needs modification. As part of the Body Armor Safety Initiative, NIJ has issued two status reports to the Attorney General containing results from the body armor studies. The first two status reports highlighted the following findings: Ballistic-resistant material, including Zylon(trademark) can degrade due to environmental factors, thus reducing the ballistic resistance safety margin that manufacturers build into their armor designs. The ultimate tensile strength of single yarns removed from the rear panel of the Forest Hills armor was up to 30-percent lower than that of yarns from "new" armor supplied by the manufacturer. Artificially-aged armor of the same type that failed in the Forest Hills incident was ballistically tested, but no bullet penetrations occurred. The upgrade kits tested did not appear to bring used armor up to the level of performance of new armor. However, used armors with upgrade kits performed better than the used armors alone.

Book excerpt: On November 17, 2003, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced the Department of Justice's Body Armor Safety Initiative in response to concerns from the law enforcement community regarding the effectiveness of their armor. He directed the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to initiate an examination of Zylon(Registered trademark)-based bullet-resistant armor (both new and used), to analyze upgrade kits provided by manufacturers to retrofit Zylon(R)-based bullet-resistant armors, and to review the existing process by which bullet-resistant armor is certified to determine if the process needs modification. On March 11, 2004, as part of the Attorney General's directive, the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) held a Body Armor Summit. At the same time, NIJ released its report, "Status Report to the Attorney General on Body Armor Safety Initiative Testing and Activities ." NIJ continues to conduct research and testing to assess the performance of used Zylon(R)-based armor, to identify methods for measuring changes in ballistic-resistant materials and ballistic performance, to assess the performance of the manufacturer provided upgrade kits and to assess the existing body armor standard and compliance testing process. This reports supplements what is contained in the March 11, 2004, status report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypersonics is the study of flight at speeds where aerodynamic heating dominates the physics of the problem. It is an engineering science with close links to supersonics and engine design. Within this field, many of the most important results have been experimental. The principal facilities have been wind tunnels and related devices, which have produced flows with speeds up to orbital velocity. Why is this important? Hypersonics has had two major applications. The first has been to provide thermal protection during atmospheric reentry. Success in this enterprise has supported ballistic-missile nose cones, has returned strategic reconnaissance photos from orbit and astronauts from the Moon, and has even dropped an instrument package into the atmosphere of Jupiter. The second application has involved high-speed propulsion and has sought to develop the scramjet as an advanced airbreathing ramjet. Atmospheric entry today is fully mature as an engineering discipline, but work with its applications continues to reach for new achievements. Studies of scramjets still seek full success, in which such engines can accelerate a vehicle without the use of rockets. Hence, there is much to do in this area as well.
