data for: liquid body armor

the Iraq war, U.S. military casualties due to roadside bombs and the increasing number of roadside bombs in Iraq has become the number one “killer.” To deal with the threat of roadside bombs, the U.S. military moves in an endless stream.

first one: electronic jammers

the U.S. military has begun using a high-tech electronic jammers against roadside bombs, and made some effect. Although the U.S. military started using electronic jammers, but not all U.S. military vehicles have necessary equipment such jammers. Electronic jamming device works by electronic interference to prevent or delay detonator activated.

these electronic jamming systems to a range of remote control detonation signal interference and shielding, passing U.S. military vehicle when a roadside bomb nearby will be able to resist the threat to close by the invisible outside the room. Currently, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps has procured and fielded thousands of sets of “Magic” series of radio interference and the “anti-simple explosive device.”

second measure: “Buffalo” bullet-proof car

amazing to deal with lethal roadside bombs, the U.S. military decided to send more “armored car “go to the theater emergency. The new vehicle is equipped with V-shaped armored shell, can do both offset the impact of the explosion, but also reduce the damage caused by shrapnel to the body.

U.S. already has about 300 code-named “Buffalo” and “Puma” and the new bullet-proof car. Information, with simple armor with the “Hummer” jeep compared to the “buffalo” or “Jaguar,” the body more, but priced as high as 75 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to almost five times the former.

third measure: toy cars

one kind at the top of the toy car to install a small camera has been included in U.S. military orders. Its function is certainly not entertainment, but to deal with hard to detect roadside bombs. U.S. company has developed a software system that can draw the path of the digital image, its contrast with the original image to remind the soldiers go through after the ground of the new changes, which may mean garbage, animal carcasses, rocks or hidden under bomb. This software system is ready to install in the above mentioned “toy vehicles”.

fourth trick: liquid body armor

According to the British “Sunday Times” recently reported that Britain is developing a liquid body armor, used against known as the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan British troops nemesis of “roadside bomb.” Liquid armor using the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the University of Delaware Center for the synthetic materials scientists developed a new nanotechnology out of the shear thickening fluid (STF), usually worn like ordinary clothes, but was bullet or shrapnel can become an instant hit hard shield. Shear thickening fluid can become extremely tough fabric that can withstand the spikes, bayonets and bullets of the attacks, without changing the fabric weight, comfort and flexibility.

Fifth move: EOD robot

Currently, the U.S. was officially installed a small detection and defusing robots are omni-directional inspection system , “send Ke Bote” robot, “Mark Porter” robot, “Talon” robot, remote ordnance fail system, “Mathilde” robot six species, the number nearly 2,000 sets of deployment, the cumulative detection and exclude the improvised explosive devices and unexploded ordnance on the ten thousand.

Sixth move: high-energy explosives disposal unit

Currently, the U.S. military is actively using directed energy, laser, high power microwave and other high-tech R & D dedicated EOD system, with a view to as the “six-pulse Excalibur” in general, the use of high-energy “Firm But Gentle” distance rule out roadside bombs. In 2005, the U.S. military ordered 12 sets of installed side by side “Joint Improvised Explosive Device exclusion system,” the system to remote armored vehicles based on car, using directed energy high current pulse EOD, EOD distance with high efficiency, safety and other characteristics. It is reported that the U.S. Air Force unmanned combat the use of laboratory studies are also being directed to transmit high-power microwave technology and detonated roadside bombs and barriers exclude ordnance.

seventh move: UAV synthetic aperture radar

UAV synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensor for the detection of roadside bombs will provide great help. UAV SAR imaging technology can capture the use of highways and other areas of interest data, and then along the same lines over the region, the image data for two changes. A concrete example, a 155mm artillery shells placed a string of known locations for SAR imaging, not previously placed with the shells of imaging when compared to graphics, you will find the image appears on the roadside of concern to a number of highlights. If commanders can not determine the nature of the target, but a warning message to the troops, the nearest observation.

eighth trick: Assault barrier-breaking car

assault obstacles between the vehicle between the tanks and bulldozers, equipped with a machine gun and a grenade launcher . It’s powered by a 1500 horsepower turbine engine, the car with a driver and a control of weapons and communications systems personnel. Barrier-breaking assault vehicle full of explosives blasting can launch cable, vehicle operator can use it to blast the enemy forces detonated roadside bombs planted any. If the two go hand in hand assault barrier-breaking cars, other vehicles and infantry that can clear a path wide enough. Barrier-breaking car in front of the shovel to clean roadside bomb explosives; another shovel into irrigation ditches can be filled with clods, easy to force through.

ninth trick: biosensors designed to “sniff” explosives

Temple University researchers have used genetic engineering techniques developed a biosensor Once found explosives, the sensor emits green fluorescence. Temple University School of Medicine researchers in “Nature Chemical Biology” magazine reported that they used genetic engineering techniques, the first mammalian olfactory signaling the introduction of a yeast strain, and then the olfactory signal system and the expression of green fluorescent protein linked. Specific operation, the researchers selected mice as experimental subjects, the mice were cloned into a single olfactory receptors in yeast cells. When the olfactory receptor “sniffed” TNT explosives, yeast as a biosensor turns fluorescent green. .

tenth trick: The Magic of plant alarm

U.S. scientists has developed a way to detect bombs magical plants. When the explosives around there, the plant will change color. Plants can respond to the bombs, because the DNA in the plant there is a receptor protein, when the feel of explosives, they will spontaneously react to the leaves of the stratum corneum thickens, then change the color. The researchers designed a computer program that can manipulate the plant’s natural defense mechanism, “teaching” them with a receptor on the explosives, air and water pollutants in the chemicals react.
