Technology

Flexible armour instead of rigid plates

Our current platform, WUHAN HAOJUN third-generation anti-cutting and stabbing technology, replaces metal inserts with a 3D woven aramid and UHMWPE composite that disperses blade and spike energy across the panel instead of deflecting it. The result is protection measured in millimetres, not centimetres.

Seven engineering decisions

What makes the composite work

The material and process choices behind the current platform.

  1. 01

    Only aramid and UHMWPE are used - carbon fibre, which is harmful to the body, is excluded.

  2. 02

    410D aerospace-grade filament yarn, with single-yarn specific strength about ten times that of steel wire.

  3. 03

    3D weaving reaches an areal density of 700 g/m2, against roughly 580 g/m2 in comparable products.

  4. 04

    Eco-friendly resin impregnation removes puncture blind spots.

  5. 05

    Finite-element simulation of the failure mechanism: a single 1.5 mm layer withstands 2,931 N of puncture force.

  6. 06

    32 standardised production steps from fabric to finished garment.

  7. 07

    Nine-segment non-overlapping stitching keeps protective layers continuous at every seam.

How the protection works

With each penetration of a protective layer, the projectile loses a small amount of kinetic energy. Until the kinetic energy is exhausted, the projectile is blocked — that is the basis of protection.

Five energy-absorption mechanisms

  1. 01Tensile deformation of the protective layer
  2. 02Layer destruction
  3. 03Thermal energy loss
  4. 04Projectile deformation
  5. 05Energy consumption during impact-induced vibration
