본고는 지뢰 방호복을 개발, 국산화하기 위해 먼저 방탄소재 구성방법에 관하여 실험한 결과이다. 기존의 여러 겹의 파라-아라미드(Para-aramid)나 단순히 파라-아라미드와 폴리 에틸렌 필름(Polyethlene film)을 조합한 소재구성과는 달리 케블라 파이버(Kevlar fiber)로 만들어진 펠트(felt)를 첨가하여 방탄원리 및 특성을 고려한 구성으로 방호복의 중량을 줄이면서 착용자로 하여금 유연성과 동작성을 향상시켜 임무수행과 안전성을 높일 수 있는 방호복을 개발하고자 하였다. 1) Para-aramid(내 충격열) + Flex-felt(충격 에너지 흡수) + Para-aramid(backface Polyethylene film(에너지 분산 극대)+Para-aramid(내 마찰열, backface순으로 소재를 배열함으로써 기존의 Para-aramed 36겹에 대하여 Para-aramid13겹, Polyethylene film 13겹, 그리고 펠트 1겹으로 동일한 방호성능을 얻었다. 2) 새로운 소재 구성 방법 에 의 한 방탄소재는 동일한 방호성능을 갖는 기존의 소재 구성 방법 에 따른 방탄소재 보다 중량에서 34-l9% ,더 가벼운 것으로 나타나 방호복 구성시 유연성이나 동작성에 유리 할 것으로 사료된다. 3) NIJ-STD-0101.03에서 의 Armor type II에 해당하는 시편 I의 방호한계속도로 구한 운동 에너지량은 154.4J Armor type III-A에 해 당하는 시편II의 방호한계속도로 구한 운동 에너지 량은 183.0J로 나타나 두 시편 모두 5m의 거리에서 M16Al지뢰의 0.032~0.044g사이 의 파편에 대해서 50%의 관통확률을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, to improve the ballistic efficiency of very brilliant alumina-silica armor material, forming press and sintering temperature were changed. After physical/mechanical measurement, we measured ballistic properties about KE(Kinetic Energy, L/D=10.7, tungsten heavy alloy) and HEAT(High Explosive Anti-Tank, K215) projectiles and analyzed them. As a result, in $1235^{\circ}C$, it appeared the highest ballistic efficiency about HEAT and it improved $22\%$ ballistic efficiency, better than invented alumina-silica armor material before.

In this study, we tried to invent ceramic armor material with brilliant ballistic properties by the silica of the high compression-expansion ratio and based on alumina that has the most economical and higher ballistic efficiency. After we choose three compositions, proper sintering temperature for each composition was decided. After physical/mechanical measurement, we measured ballistic properties about KE(Kinetic Energy, L/D=10.7, tungsten heavy alloy) and HEAT(High Explosive Anti-Tank, K215) projectiles. As a result, $46\%\;Al_2O_3\;-\;51\%\;SiO_2$ of three compositions had the highest ballistic efficiency md better properties than alumina.

In this study, we analyzed the relation between physical/mechanical properties and ballistic properties for several engineering ceramics that were expected to use as armor material. After physical/mechanical measurement, we measured ballistic properties about KE(Kinetic Energy, L/D=10.7, tungsten heavy alloy) and HEAT(High Explosive Anti-Tank, K215) projectiles. Increasing Young's modulus/density, hardness/density and flexural strength/density ratios, ballistic properties were generally increased. Especially it appeared that the ballistic property about KE projectile was lineally increased, as HEL/density ratio increased.

자기장하에서 액체 성질인 유동성과 고체 성질인 자성을 갖는 강자성/자기흐름 유체의 제조방법, 강자성/자기흐름 유체의 조성 및 미세구조와 유체 매트릭스의 구조에 따른 자기특성과 강자성/자기흐름 유체의 물리적, 기계적 성질을 조사하고 최근 연구개발되고 있는 전기흐름유체(electrorheological fluid)의 특성과 비교하였으며, 또한 이를 바탕으로 방탄복에 대한 적용성을 검토하였다.

한국도 더 이상 총기안전지대가 아니며, 강력범죄도 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 상황에서 경찰관의 신체 생명을 적극적으로 보호하면서 무기 사용을 최소화 할 수 있도록 경찰관 장비에 대한 개선점이 필요하다. 장비에 대한 지급이 미흡한 시점에서 경찰관의 안전과 치안유지를 담당하기 위해서는 장비에 대한 보급과 착용이 우선적으로 진행되어야 하며, 경찰 출동차량에 반드시 방탄복, 방검복, 방검장갑, 안전헬멧 등을 필수 배치해서 범죄현장에 대처해야 한다.

This study helps develop a cool body armor that maintains a tight-fit configuration to the body surface and evaluates the performance of newly developed body armor in a wear test. Three types of body armor were used for evaluation. One was a tight fitting body armor that was constructed to improve the degree of fit and ease of movement for Korean soldier using 3D technology. Another was ventilating body armor with attached spacers on the shoulder to reduce the thermal stress on the soldier. The third was a prevailing body armor produced by a Korean body armor company. In order to evaluate the performance of the body armor, a human wear test, a thermal mannequin test, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) were executed. Five subjects participated in the wear test. Subjective wear sensation, total amount of sweat and dynamic change of clothing microclimate were observed during and after exercise on a treadmill; subsequently, it was found that subjects rated tight fitting body armor and ventilating body armor lighter, drier, and easier to move than the conventional body armor (p<.05). Total amount of sweat was the least in the case of ventilating body armor. The thermal resistance and vapor resistance of the ventilating body armor were improved remarkably. In addition, the skin temperature of the ventilating body armor with spacers was lower than the tight fitting body armor by at least $1^{\circ}C$ in the CFD result. It is noted that thermal-wet comfort of the 3D body armor with ventilating feature is superior to the conventional body armor, especially when the ventilating channel is not closed due to a backpack.

In this study, an actual test procedure was considered for the effective operation of a bulletproof test. The problems of the existing system were drawn in two ways. First, it is difficult to mount items of various shapes. Second, various test standards cannot be applied. To improve these problems, an automated and standardized mounting system was designed/applied to mount various items. The multi-purpose mount was compatible with the backing support for body armor testing. The sample holding frame was located inside and was designed to mount samples of various sizes and shapes through vertical movement and fixation without a separate detachment/attachment process. A comparison of the economics before and after the introduction of the item mounting system confirmed the effectiveness of the system by the increased number of daily tests and equipment utilization and reduced hourly cost.

This paper is for the state of the art of the lightweight protective clothing against the mine, and it covers the preliminary work focused on the appropriate protection, ballistics, convenience, and wearability. It is suggested that the lightweight protective clothing should be fabricated with the laminated materials of high strength woven and non-woven fabrics to reduce the weight and thickness, thus improving the wearability. And partial reinforcement of the protective clothing is necessary to prevent the mortal wound near the important parts of the body without disturbing the arbitrary activity. The composition of the protective clothing should be designed in consideration of easy putting-on and taking-off in addition to easy divesture, which require little motion of the body is in case of serious injury. Additionally, status of the practical technique for high performance and ultra-light hybrid armor material were also described.

This study provides basic data for future design proposals aimed at improving the uniforms and bullet/stab proof garments of local police. An analysis was conducted on various aspects of the uniforms used until 2015 and those newly introduced in 2016. Current bullet/stab proof garments were compared with old stab proof garments; in addition, police force posting on the internal SNS were analyzed in regards to the improvement needs for uniforms. Analyses results are as follows. As for the uniforms, convenience was improved by eliminating the necktie, and the four trigrams embroidery was added to emphasize the Korean identity. Cargo-style pants were added for enhanced activity, and the color of the top was changed to turquoise to improve discrimination. In terms of material, durable polyester was used heavily in outside uniforms that were likely to be damaged during work; consequently, the percentage of elastic materials was increased for improved activity. The price showed a high increase rate due to inflation and the use of functional new materials. Complaints and demands for improvement continued despite various modifications made to uniforms and suggested a strong need for further improvements that reflected the opinions of wearers. As for the protective garments, there was a limit to reducing the final weight despite the use of lightweight material because of protection performance enhancements made from expanding the protection surface area. Also, considering further decrease in supply rate, it was deemed necessary to secure budget for full supply of bullet/stab proof garments.
