Bullet resistant materials are designed to resist penetration from
ballistic sources. While no material can ever be "bullet proof,"
DWS Defense Systems and its partners design systems capable of withstanding
attack from specific type, caliber, and velocity of ballistic threat.
Extensive tests, which measure the spacing or patterns of impact and
any penetration (or spalling) in relation to the number of impacts,
help identify the best-possible materials for the ballistic threat
type.
