WILMINGTON, Del.
S. While still under development, the M5(R)
material has a range of potential uses to enhance protection
of military and
law enforcement personnel, fire fighters and industrial workers, and also to

In law enforcement applications alone, nearly 3,000 officers have
survived potentially
fatal or disabling injuries because they were wearing
personal body armor. Reducing logistical
