Ballistic Test Services (Explosion or Bullet Impact Resistance, Glasses, Materials, Vehicles)

Ballistics is defined as the science of studying projectiles and firearms. Ballistic testing is a process based on relevant standards to determine whether products meet protection, safety, and performance criteria. This process is a vital part of the production of various products. Most ballistic testing assists commercial research and development programs, as well as law enforcement and military applications.

In general, any product can be tested for ballistic resistance, but the most common applications for this test method are:

Personal protective equipment. Bulletproof vests and other equipment worn by law enforcement and military personnel.
Vehicle and structural armor. Bulletproof vehicles and glass both require adequate ballistics tests.
Firearms and ammunition. Both need to be tested before use to ensure they are safe.

Various tests in this area are generally carried out in ballistic testing facilities. Many of these tests are conducted in climate-controlled, state-of-the-art indoor testing grounds to reduce the number of variables present during testing. The measuring equipment used during these tests is designed to monitor all kinds of variables. The exact fitment for a particular ballistics testing facility may vary, but generally the following are used:

laser scanners
point probes
Doppler radar
high speed cameras
speed measuring equipment

Equipment tested for use in law enforcement or military applications must pass both National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and Center for Applied Science and Technology (CAST) certification testing.

The National Institute of Justice is responsible for the development, testing, and certification of both ballistic-resistant and puncture-resistant body armor in the United States . The Centre for Applied Science and Technology performs the same function for applications in the United Kingdom. Any equipment subject to legal enforcement or use by military personnel must meet the standards of these two organizations, depending on where it is manufactured and used.

Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides ballistic testing services (such as resistance to explosion or bullet impacts, glasses, materials, vehicles) with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
