Ballistic Protection

Ballistic protection refers to materials or designs that safeguard individuals from projectile threats, such as bullets or shrapnel. Commonly seen in body armor, helmets, and protective gear, these materials are engineered to absorb and disperse the impact energy of a projectile, reducing the risk of injury. The effectiveness of ballistic protection is rated according to standards that classify it based on the level of threats it can withstand. It’s used by military personnel, law enforcement, and security professionals to enhance safety in potentially dangerous situations.
