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 bullets and fragments from explosions on the battlefields. Due to the increasing development of technology for making weapons and ammunition and the need to increase the efficiency and comfort of personal armor in order to be able to use them more and more widely, research and development in this field has always been ongoing. In order to focus and macro-policy at the national level, the development of science and technology development strategies for protective layers against bullets and fragments from explosions is targeted in this study. For this purpose, using the SWOT analysis method and obtaining the opinion of the elites in this field, the required strategies have been extracted. The strategies obtained in order of priority include increasing international interactions to supply raw materials for the production of bulletproof layers, expanding research and development in universities and research centers, improving defense in the field of military protection, more attention to domestic production and self-sufficiency in advanced fiber production and other materials are needed to make bulletproof layers and to raise the awareness of government officials, managers and policymakers about advanced fibers. Paying attention to these strategies 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 of bulletproof layers technology in the country
