Applications of Bullet‐Resistant Boron Carbide Plates
-
Personal protection: These plates are incorporated into bullet‐resistant vests and plate carriers used by military personnel, police officers and security staff to protect against high‐velocity projectiles and armour‐piercing rounds.
-
Vehicle armour: Boron carbide plates are installed in armoured vehicles to defend against ballistic threats; consequently, they contribute to the safety of vehicle occupants in hostile environments.
-
Aircraft armour: In military aircraft, these plates are implemented to protect critical components and crew members from potential threats during combat operations.
-
Marine applications: Boron carbide plates are used in maritime security to protect naval vessels and personnel from potential attacks.
-
Hard armour applications: The plates are integrated into backpacks, bags and shields to provide additional protection during tactical operations.
-
Sniper shields: Boron carbide plates serve as sniper shields to protect designated personnel during engagements.
-
Police body armour plates: Police officers deploy these plates in tactical protective vests to improve personal protection during high‐risk operations.
-
Specialised military units: Elite military units involved in special operations utilise boron carbide plates to ensure protection in extreme combat situations.
