Strategies for the Development of Science and Technology of Protective Layers Against Bullets and Fragments

It is very important to maintain the health and resistance of the military and security forces against bulletsand fragments from explosions on the battlefields. Due to the increasing development of technology formaking weapons and ammunition and the need to increase the efficiency and comfort of personal armorin order to be able to use them more and more widely, research and development in this field has alwaysbeen ongoing. In order to focus and macro-policy at the national level, the development of science andtechnology development strategies for protective layers against bullets and fragments from explosions istargeted in this study. For this purpose, using the SWOT analysis method and obtaining the opinion of theelites in this field, the required strategies have been extracted. The strategies obtained in order of priorityinclude increasing international interactions to supply raw materials for the production of bulletprooflayers, expanding research and development in universities and research centers, improving defense inthe field of military protection, more attention to domestic production and self-sufficiency in advancedfiber production and other materials are needed to make bulletproof layers and to raise the awarenessof government officials, managers and policymakers about advanced fibers. Paying attention to thesestrategies can put all ongoing research activities related to the future of this field in a logical direction,prevent duplication and by creating structures and incentives, lead to the growth and development ofbulletproof layers technology in the country
