    Morgan Advanced Materials Demonstrates Extensive Blast Survivability for Silverback 4020 Elite Bomb Disposal Suit

    Friday, January 6th, 2017

    A new video released by Morgan Advanced Materials showcases the outstanding performance of its Silverback 4020 Elite bomb disposal suit against four life impacting aspects of blast; flame immersion, high velocity fragment impact, blast pressure wave and ‘tertiary’ effects; across four different blast tests.

    Critical to survivability, the tests illustrate the importance Morgan places on reducing the impact of blast pressure waves, which alongside flame and fragments, have devastating impact on internal organs without adequate protection. The testing was conducted at the independently certified OTS testing facility at Faldingworth (UK) and utilised a range of testing best practice, including key aspects of the NIJ 0117.00 Public Safety Bomb Suit Standard, in addition to other blast analysis including the Bowen Survivability Curve and overpressure reduction.

    The first blast test shown on the video demonstrates the suit’s survivability when kneeling, measured against the NIJ 0117.00 Public Safety Bomb Suit Standard for an explosive of 0.567kg C4 threat at 0.6m. The recorded footage reveals that the suit provides a pressure reduction between 96.9% and 99.7%, achieving a position on the Bowen Curve showing more than 99% survivability probability (in a controlled test environment). Three further blast tests assess the suit’s survivability when standing, facing a 1kg (2.20 lbs) C4 threat at 1m, a 2kg (4.41 lbs) C4 threat at 2m, and a 10kg (22.05 lbs) C4 threat at 3m. All three tests returned a position on the Bowen Curve stating a survivability probability greater than 99% (in a controlled test environment), with a pressure reduction between 98.1% and 98.5% for 1kg and 10kg blasts.

    In addition to ensuring the highest levels of survivability, the Silverback 4020 Elite is designed for enhanced manoeuvrability, providing the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operator with the flexibility they require for operating in a restrictive environment. The business conducts its own manoeuvrability tests, testing flexibility to crouch, climb and crawl, furthermore the suit utilises a powerful demisting system embedded in the helmet for improved situational awareness. Advanced cooling systems, which incorporate a flame ingress brake mechanism are embedded into the suit enhance comfort and reduce operator fatigue. An innovative quick release system, allowing the user to evacuate the suit unaided in less than 25 seconds in the event of an emergency situation, is designed into the suit’s jacket and trousers.

    Chris Davies, Technology Director at Morgan Advanced Materials’ Composites and Defence Business, commented: “We are delighted with the survivability performance of the Silverback 4020 Elite, reducing the impact of blast pressure waves has been a key focus throughout the design of the product, along with protection against flame and fragments. The suit’s high performance levels have been achieved through years of blast materials research and development, combined with leading garment engineering to create a truly world class highly flexible bomb disposal suit.“

    N-Vision Optics Announces New Wide Field of View PVS-15 Night Vision Binocular

    Friday, January 6th, 2017

    N-Vision Optics is proud to announce our new Wide Field of View (WFOV) PVS-15 Night Vision Binocular. The WFOV PVS-15 features a ground-breaking 80° wide circular field of view without compromising optical resolution, size, weight, or power consumption (SWaP). The WFOVB PVS-15 is developed and built by Kent Optronics, where their proprietary foveal design of the objective and eyepiece lenses, provide the wide FOV with a high, on-axis resolution.

    he 80° FOV is twice as wide as that of the standard AN/PVS-15 NVG. The limited 40° FOV of standard AN/PVS-15 NVGs restricts the off axis detection, and thus hinders peripheral vision. In addition, aggressive head scanning is necessary for maintaining minimal situational awareness, which presents the possibility of disorientation, neck strain, and fatigue for operators. The increased FOV guarantees a true 2-dimensional (2-d) wide area coverage in a much more compact and lightweight package.

    WFOV PVS-15 is available as a retrofit for the standard AN/PVS-15 system or can be purchased as a brand new wide field of view binocular.

    Contact Us:
    For more information about the WFOV PVS-15 or other products from N-Vision Optics, email us at info@nvisionoptics.com or visit our website at www.nvisionoptics.com.
