It works, but its a little bulky. I don't think a foot soldier would want to dress in alot of that, but it would be good to use on the bottom of the convoys.

only $300 / bag. why aren't these things going into full scale production right now? I wonder how much each one weighs and how much weigh in armor woudl be added to the average humvee to upfit it. I was convinced. Now if this can just make it to the battlefield before hundreds more have to die needlessly

Isnt the Daily Planet the Newspaper from Superman?

impressive.

By the way he handled it it looked pretty light (around 20 lb), the should have the underbody a humvee covered with it, and one in every door. Yes, mine protection is allready obtainable with the humvee today, but I have a feeling its not as cheap as this, and money is tight with the army, so I think this would be a good alternative. Obviously this isn't for people to wear though, but the allready have vests there, its the vehicles there in that are fairly weak.

Does anybody know how much modern armour for vehicles and bullet proof vests cost as a comparison?

Impressive stuff, i liked the inventor's spirit.

People are right a soldier couldn't wear that, but it would be ideal for such vehicles as the Humvee.

here's a armoued landrover

why can't vehicles such as these be used.. they did and prob. still do in Northern Ireland when dealing with such street/urban warfare

Defender DAS. Utilising the unique modular construction of the Defender, this innovative product allows the user to install or demount armoured panels and glass screens to a prepared General Service Vehicle, transforming a standard vehicle to an Armoured Personnel Vehicle within hours. Protection to B6+ or Stanag 4569 level 1 can be provided with additional optional anti-personnel mine protection. This concept presents clear logistics and cost benefits to any defence force enabling the operator to upgrade armour, remove armour for low threat duties or to use with partial protection or anti-personnel mine protection alone. The Defender DAS is also available in a permanently armoured condition

Or just stop using an open top barely armoured car as a military vehicle. Those guys might as well be in toyota pickups.

, its the vehicles there in that are fairly weak.

Considering that the US probably won't be fighting a convetional army for much of the time in the near future, it really does need to develop vehicles that can withstand rpg attacks and IED road attacks, since that does seem to be where the bulk of soldiers are getting killed. I know that the Bradleys can take some of it and the Strykers can be 'modified' with that weird gate armour for RPGS but still, these are things designed for conventional war, not insurgency.
