Future Soldier Protection in collaboration with Avon Protection (Registered Design)
Air Armour integrates ballistic, blast, blunt trauma and respiratory protection into a single product which provides comfortable protection to soldiers. Design development has been completed with end users and the final design incorporates a supply of cool blown air over the users face to reduce heat fatigue associated with other protective equipment. The lightweight shell, made from composite materials also helps to deflect the blast wave of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED’s) to prevent traumatic brain injury. A flexible rubber skin, inspired by nature, also helps to absorb shock from blasts and blunt trauma.
