  12. Measurement of Performance • The V50 is usually used as the basic measurement of performance • V50 is the 50% probability of penetration of defined bullet type expressed in terms of velocity in m/sec (or in the USA fps) • Areal weight is also used and this is expressed in terms of kg/m2 (or in the USA lbs/ft2) • Sometimes these two references are used to express a RPI (Relative Performance Indicator) V50 divided by A/D – This enables comparative evaluation between armour types

  13. Blunt Trauma The US National Institute of Justice Standard is 44 mm maximum depth of indentation on the body side, or trauma, measured on a clay similar to Roma Plastilina #1 Body armor solution= protection x comfort

  14. International Standards BFS

  15. Hard Armour Plates • Hard armour plates are designed to defeat high velocity rifle rounds • NIJ Level III and NIJ Level IV • Materials= steel, ceramic or UHMWPE
