Abstract

The need to develop protective systems to protect against attacks from various sources is increasingly becoming a personal, social and national security issue. To develop innovative armor systems, it is necessary to monitor the developments made on the types, technology and performance of threats (weapons, projectiles, explosives, etc.) In particular, the use of helmets of a high level of protection on the battlefield is essential. Therefore, the development of evaluation methods that can predict injury and trauma is very important. However, the risk of injury or trauma that may result from induced acceleration is an additional consideration. To develop new materials and layouts for helmets, it is necessary to study the impacts caused by ballistic impacts on the human head in various scenarios. Composite materials in military applications have proven to be superior to metal materials, in increasing the mobility of Force personnel. The use of composite materials in military helmets is very important in relation to the speed of incoming bullets, one of which is made from thermoplastic and thermoset polymers. Particle composite material composed of Bisphenol A epoxy resin matrix and reinforcement in the form of Javanese jute fiber which is applied to bulletproof helmets. When using this composite, you can determine the number of sheets of Javanese jute fiber that is effective against the force of the bullet fired, this is to support the safety of its use.

Abstract

Light pyrotechnics is one strategic defence equipment for civil and military purposes. Additives act as one of the factors that affect the flame in pyrotechnics. Additives were used to slow down the combustion rate so that the flare could burn for a long time without drastically reducing the flame performance of the flare. This study focused on the performance of pyrotechnic flames with variations of PVC as a density-increasing material because it was in the form of a polymer and had high-chlorine content, resulting in a mixture that is difficult to burn. The experiment results exhibited that pyrotechnics without PVC showed intensity with an emission spectrum of 577-585 nm, light intensity of 723-1184 lux, and burning rate of 3.22-3.31 g/s. Increasing the PVC additive composition to 1.5 gr showed emissions with a wavelength of 596-597 nm, decreased intensity from 91-183 lux, and a slower burning rate of 0.72-0.88 g/s. The use of PVC was effectively applied in the 1.76-10.21% fraction and was actively able to slow down the rate of combustion of pyrotechnic mixtures. Hence, PVC could slow down the burning rate and increase density. Adding PVC in yellow pyrotechnics would slow down the burning rate of the pyrotechnic sample with the side effect of reducing the brightness of the yellow color and the intensity of the light.
