Military Tires Get New Mission

Ground vehicles still run predominantly on wheels, not tracks. That means tires must be tough, durable and maintain traction on a variety of surfaces. Increasingly, it means better tires should help cut fuel use too. Even the toughest tires are punctured sometimes, so run-flat equipment enabling continued movement away from an ambush, explosion or other tight spot is also highly desirable. Goodyear is the biggest supplier of tires to the U.S. military by a sizable margin. “We are the sole supplier on the Humvee, and there are tens of thousands of Humvees in operation,” noted Maylon Carroll, general manager, government and military sales. Goodyear has been the sole supplier since the inception of the HMMWV program, which is now in its third version.

“We are also on the medium tactical vehicle platform,” Carroll said. “BAE Systems is winding down on that and Oshkosh won the re-bid, and we are on that.” Goodyear also supplies tires for a few mine resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles—for example, on the rear of Navistar’s MaxxPro wrecker MRAP. And Goodyear is one of two approved sources of tires for the family of medium tactical vehicles.

Vehicle manufacturers select tires for their products, but the government must approve the choice. Approvals come in two buckets: original equipment (first-fit) and sustainment. “In most cases there is more than one choice for sustainment. About 90 percent of tactical sustainment tires are Goodyear or Michelin,” Carroll said.

Goodyear has built its success over 100 years in supplying the U.S. military and still makes all its tires in the United States. As an American-owned company, Goodyear can work extensively with Sandia National Laboratories on modeling performance of tires and alternative tread designs.

“We are known for robust tread design,” said Technical Account Manager John Warchol. “We can take our commercial research and apply it to the unique needs of the military.” Treads designed for military uses must handle all kinds of surfaces, highway, cross-country, mud, sand and emergency situations. “If it is stuck, you must be able to lower the inflation and get out of the way,” Warchol explained.

One distinctive advantage is Goodyear’s Durawall composite on tire sidewalls. Used on HMMWVs, Durawall yields a 30 to 40 percent increase in puncture protection and resistance to cutting by curbs.

Military customers increasingly seek fuel economy. Goodyear has been selected to partner with Ricardo on development of a new vehicle under the fuel-efficient ground vehicle demonstrator program. This FED program will seek to alter engines, exploit composite construction and make other changes to cut fuel use dramatically. “They are looking to Goodyear to develop a tire that can reduce fuel consumption 4-6 percent,” Warchol said. The FED effort is aimed at a possible replacement for the massively deployed HMMWV.

One way to get fuel burn down is to adapt a rolling-tread compound used in Goodyear commercial tires. Some changes will be required because the military has special requirements for handling gravel chips. Goodyear can also go to a larger tire, 22 inches rim diameter and inflated to higher pressure, to improve fuel efficiency.

Mileage is the primary focus now. “The military wants to go faster with heavier weight, but with less fuel,” Carroll said. Still, Goodyear constantly works on other improvements, such as resistance to ballistics and ability to handle failures. The company’s DuraSeal technology helps on these fronts. Goodyear does not make run-flats, but Carroll notes that tires and run-flat technology must be jointly tested to ensure compatibility.

“We and Goodyear dominate the military wheeled market,” said Jonathan “Hoot” Wade, technical manager for Michelin military products. Goodyear may keep all those HMMWVs humming, but Michelin dominates the heavy-wheeled military market.

This market includes Oshkosh’s heavy equipment transport, the heavy extended mobility tactical truck, Oshkosh’s palletized loading system, General Dynamics Strykers and most MRAPs. “There are now many MRAP variants, and most have tires by Michelin,” Wade explained. Michelin tires are also on Oshkosh’s MRAP all-terrain vehicle. The reason for these choices? Wade argues that Michelin simply makes the best on- and off-road tires. “They are durable and tough and fit well with the mission profiles of the military.”

Wade said military customers over the last six years have sought to increase the load on each tire. “They want it go faster, increase load and reduce inflation pressure. Fortunately, our tires have been properly sized for vehicles. I always tell vehicle manufactures if they think the maximum load per tire will be 10,000 pounds, get a tire that can handle 14,000 pounds. Then you can reduce the inflation pressure.”

Fuel economy, improved by reducing a tire’s rolling resistance, has become more important for both commercial and military tire buyers. Wade said it is most important for commercial buyers because of the high annual mileage put on, for example, truck tires. “In the military, even though delivered fuel costs more, they don’t put as many miles on the vehicles, so it is not as quite as important.”

Finally, the military often wants the ability to operate with reduced inflation. “When you go off road, you can reduce inflation so you get a bigger footprint. There is less pressure per square inch, but with a bigger footprint you can still maintain control.”

Michelin also makes tires for other nations’ military vehicles. Wade said these forces tend to follow the U.S. lead in tire requirements.

Due to very demanding conditions and dangers posed by an immobilized vehicle, the military often uses run-flat devices with even the best tires. A run-flat is a specially made tire or auxiliary tire equipment that enables the vehicle to continue to be driven with punctured tires, if at reduced speed and for a limited distance.

Bulldog Direct Protective Systems makes two basic types of run-flats, President Dave Applegate said. Bulldog’s composite run-flat (CRF) tire insert provides flat-tire mobility for pneumatic tires. Special composite material reduces friction and heat buildup inside the flat.

The CRF is mounted inside a tubeless tire on traditional wheels using normal mounting tools. Each CRF is custom-built to meet load rating, distance requirements and rim specifications. The CRF can handle the weight of heavily armored vehicles. Made from a ballistic composite, the CRF can be reinstalled even when tires have been changed.

Bulldog also offers Rodgard run-flat inserts, which are made from two components: a roller and a runner. The runner is securely attached to the wheel in the drop center and provides a track for the roller to rotate around the wheel at the same speed as the tire, reducing friction and heat buildup. The Rodgard is highly resistant to ballistic attacks and can handle heavier loads than the CRF, but it is harder to install and more costly.

Rodgard gives vehicles with flat pneumatic tires much more maneuverability and control at high speeds. Special bearing interfaces and lubricant systems prolong its longevity. The Rodgard holds the tire tread and sidewall off the wheel rim, preventing it from being destroyed or coming off the wheel. Because the independent roller allows the tire to rotate at the same rate as the wheel, it minimizes heat buildup.

These Bulldog run-flats, offered for commercial uses, have been adapted for military uses. “For military vehicles, anything you see we are on it,” Applegate said. “That includes all Humvees and MRAPs and certain trucks.” ♦

New Web Site: We are very excited to announce that as of 4-30-11 we have launched our "New and Improved" Web Site, www.bulldogdirect.com, with many new products and services. Our old site had seved us well for six years, but it was time add many new features and services. A year in conception, design and development, our new site was done by the highly regarded web site firm Dodwell Design of Austin Texas.www.Dodwelldesign.com Some our new services are: twitter, YouTube, Blog, Face Book, Flicker.

New Products and Services:

NEW Armored Vehicle Design and Engineering Services: for companies wishing to get into the armored vehicle manufacturing business, we now offer a complete design, engineering, and manufacturing Service, based at our manufacturing facilities. We offer a program that allows your company to send its staff to our location for hands-on training in the art of vehicle armoring. We start with a standard vehicle and take you through all the steps necessary to armor it, from cutting and fitting the opaque armor to installing the Bullet Resistant Glass. We also offer solutions for vehicle engineering, brakes, suspension upgrades, frame modifications, and ballistic designing for custom applications. We can also cut steel armor plate and other composites for most vehicles. We also provide you with a complete installation manual on the installation process as part of our armoring contract. Bulldog Direct has partnered with one of the world’s leading vehicle ballistic engineers who has retired from a special U.S. government agency responsible for the transportation of leading dignitaries.
We can also offer onsite consultation of his services on an hourly basis. Please contact us for more information.

Ballistic Fabrics:
At last, the general public now has a reliable and knowledgeable source to purchase the same ballistic fabrics that the large bullet resistant vest / body armor manufacturers use. All of our ballistic fabrics are proudly made in the USA. Most, if not all fabric mills only sell in very large quantities, making it impossible for most individuals to make small purchases to experiment or make their own bullet resistant products. These ballistic fabrics can be used to make Bullet Resistant Vests / Body Armor, Bomb Blankets and Vehicle Floor Fragmentation Blankets.

Police Vehicle Armor Kits:
We now offer a new line of Vehicle Armored Kits for police, law enforcement and government agencies. These kits primarily offer protection for the front doors, as for the most part the front doors are used as ballistic shields in a felony stop or shooting situation.

These door kits provide two levels of protection, the first being handgun protection up to .44 magnum [NIJ Level IIIA] and the second being [NIJ Level III] protection for most assault rifles.

Our kits consist of light weight armor panels for the doors, Kevlar or Dyneema depending on the protection level required and bullet resistant glass for the doors. The armor panels are cut and ready to install in the lower door, with instructions and all of the adhesives necessary. The bullet resistant glass is a flat insert that is clipped in place behind the OEM side door glass making for easy installation and quick movement from vehicle to vehicle.

We also provide several options to enhance the vehicle protection. Curved bullet resistant vehicle glass for the front doors and windshield, armor panels for the rear partition.
Bulldog Direct: Other Services

Over the last 12 years, Bulldog Direct Protection Systems Inc. has built up quite a few contacts with current and former U.S. Government agencies such as the US Secret Service, FBI, DIA, numerous branches of the U.S. military services, and other top leaders in their respective fields.

Bullet Resistant- Blast Resistant " Window Film".

2010-04-29T22:59:00.000-04:00

Bullet Resistant " Window Film". We are just amazed at the number of Window Film companies that advertise that their thin films are "Bullet Resistant" and or can offer protection from large Bomb Blasts, such as what took place in Oklahoma City a few years back. The truth is, it is impossible for any type of "Window Film" to offer real Ballistic Protection at all. Window film resists forced entry and prolonged attack from hammers, hatchets, baseball bats, sledge hammers pick ax, etc. Window Film works very well for this narrow application. We have to wonder who they can sleep at night after making ridiculous claims.

Bulletproof Glass is a colloquial term for glass that is particularly resistant to being penetrated when struck by bullets. However there is no such thing as "BulletProof". The correct term is "Bullet Resistant". True Bullet Resistant Glass is made by laminating multiple layers of glass bonded together with high adhesion bonding interlayers of polyvinyl butyral, polyurethane or ethylene-vinyl acetate. This process is done under heat and pressure in an autoclave.

Bullet Resistant Glass is then tested to specific ballistic threats as set by the National Institute of Justice [ N.I.J.] and Underwriters Laboratories [ U.L.] threat levels. And are independently tested by a certified ballistic testing lab. The most recognized is H.P. White Laboratories Inc., or University of Dayton Research Institute. We have never seen any Window Film Company produce the required Ballistic Test Reports, which is the norm for all Bullet Resistant Glass Manufacturers. They proclaim to have done numerous "BackYard" tests. Some of these so called testers have made the claim the their films slow down the projectile? what....!! your still dead.........!

Real Bullet Resistant Glass can offer protection from small caliber handguns such as .22, 9mm, .44 magnum up to a .50 caliber armor piercing rifle rounds . The thickness of Bullet Resistant Glass can be from .825" thick to over 5" thick and weigh anywhere from 8.89 lbs per sq. ft. to over 50 lbs per sq. ft. False claims by Window Film manufacturers can get people killed. Check with any Bullet Resistant Glass Manufacturer to independently verify this statement.

With regards to "Blast Mitigation" this is a highly specialized area of protection. U.S. Military and Government Contractors such as Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Pine Bluff Military Arsenal, U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal, and Ballelle Memorial Institute are working to design protective systems to counter such threats. Window Film is not a proper solution for such a massive threat.

One company called "Glass Strengthening Systems" has made an absolutely ridiculous claim that they did a "Private Test" using 1400 pounds of explosives, and that their "Film" stopped any penetration at 184 feet. I wonder if they had a failure at 185 feet. First, one must wonder how in the world Glass Strengthening Systems could legally obtain 1400 pounds of explosives, let alone detonate them with out proper sanctioning from ATF. Why was this done as a "Private" un sanctioned test. Professionally speaking any "REAL" tests of this manor would be carried out under very strict protocol, under supervision of the U.S. Government, and independently tested by a certified ballistic testing lab. Where is the test data, and certification ?

Kevlar Ballistic Fabrics

2010-04-02T22:47:00.001-04:00

Extensive market research has indicated that there is a large demand for Kevlar Ballistic Fabrics, that has largely been unfilled or supplied by companies with little or no experience in Bullet Resistant Products, as such we will be adding a new line of Kevlar Fabrics to our website in the next few days. With Bulldog Direct Protective Systems Inc. being a leading and trusted supplier to the U.S. Military and Government for over 10 years, we have had a high volume of requests from our large customer base.
Ballistic Fabrics

Kevlar® is a para-aramid fiber which displays excellent dimensional stability over a wide range of temperatures for prolonged periods. Even at temperatures of 320° F (160° C) Kevlar® shows essentially no embattlement or strength loss. Kevlar® fiber also has excellent dimensional stability with a slightly negative coefficient of thermal expansion (-1.1 X 10-6/° F or -0.2 X 10-6/° C). Kevlar ® fiber does not melt or support combustion but will start to decompose at about 800° F (427° C).

Kevlar® 29 &129 are tough yarns which are better suited for ballistic protection and are used both in soft body armor applications such as personal protection ballistic vests, and as robust reinforcements for a variety of hard armor applications, racing helmets, ballistic helmets, spall panels, ballistic blankets and electronic housing protection. This Style Kevlar has also been used in many industrial type applications.

Kevlar ® KM2, made in 400 denier, 600 denier and 850 denier, is a high performance product variant specially designed for use in Military ballistic applications. These yarns are used in both soft and hard military products to defeat multiple threats.

Kevlar® LT is a new yarn that’s used in the development of the lightest weight body armor products on the market today. This new yarn is mainly used in the civilian police products to provide comfortable, high level protection.

Kevlar® K-159 was developed for correctional institutions as the first stab resistant fabric. This new Kevlar® fiber, which is 4 times thinner than typical ballistic yarns, is used for an ultra-dense weave but still maintains a strength value that is five times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis.

Fiberglass Ballistic Panels

2010-03-14T18:32:00.000-04:00

Fiberglass Ballistic Panels

Our Fiberglass Ballistic panels are manufactured using multiple layers of fiberglass cloth or woven roving that are bonded together with a pre impregnated resin under heat and pressure to form a ridged Bullet Resistant / Bullet Proof Panel. This is the same fiberglass that boats are made from, only with many more layers of the Fiberglass cloth used in the process.

What are some common design applications for Bulldog Fiberglass Ballistic Panels? Bullet resistant panels or sheathing are specified in many design situations. The more common applications include, Judge's Benches, courtroom protection for the Jury area and the Witness Box, within the woodwork of Tellers cages or counters in banks, as a bullet proof barrier or wall within government buildings, police stations, District Attorney's offices, U.S. Marshals offices, FBI and ATF offices, guard houses, control rooms within prisons, convenience stores, check cashing stores, etc. Bulldog Fiberglass Ballistic Panels are sometimes used within high-end residences to make a "safe room". Standard sheets sizes are 48"x96" Our Bulletproof Fiberglass Armor Panels are a very cost effective product, at a lower cost that Steel Armor Plate and very easy to cut and install.

How does Bulldog Fiberglass Ballistic Panels actually stop a bullet? Pricing Request
Our Fiberglass Ballistic Panels are designed to allow entry of the bullet (non-ricochet), and then defeat the energy of the bullet through a controlled process of ply-delamination. The correct ratio of fiberglass to resin, and the right amount of heat and pressure during that each layer of woven roving fiberglass will delaminate from one another and allow for a controlled, non spalling encapsulation of the bullet within the panel. The kinetic energy of the bullet is released or dissipated through this ply-release or delamination process.
How easy is it to work with these panels? Pricing Request
Compared to older more traditional bullet resistant building materials such as plate steel, concrete or cinder blocks with sand, our Fiberglass Ballistic Armor Panels offers a lot more utility and ease. The panels are fairly lightweight ( 4.5 lbs per square foot @ UL Level 2 ), can be easily cut, drilled, sanded, painted, textured, and are more compatible with other wood or gypsum materials. Regular jobber drill bits can be used for drilling, masonry or diamond grit-edge blades for sawing, and our Fiberglass Ballistic Panels can be secured to wood or steel studs using a #6 or #8 self-drilling drywall screw or decking screw.

Fiberglass Ballistic Panels can be primed and painted with oil or water based paints, can be glued to other surfaces with Liquid Nails adhesives, and can be covered with drywall, wood panels, or literally any type of wall covering. Instructions for Installation are included with every order to assist skilled or novice installers. Standard sheets sizes are 48"x96". Pricing Request

Bullet Resistant Glass / Bullet Proof Glass

2010-03-05T23:13:00.000-05:00

Bullet Resistant Glass / Bullet Proof Glass

Bullet Resistant Glass is particularly resistant to being penetrated when struck by bullets. Bullet-resistant glass is usually constructed using a strong but transparent material such as polycarbonate thermoplastic or layers of laminated glass, a material with a transparency behavior of standard glass but offers varying degrees of protection from arms fire.

The polycarbonate layer is usually sandwiched between layers of regular glass. The use of plastic in the laminate provides impact-resistance, such as physical assault with a hammer, an axe, etc. The glass flattens the bullet and thereby prevents penetration.

Bullet Resistant Glass manufactured of laminated glass layers is built from glass sheets bonded together with polyvinyl butyral, polyurethane or ethylene-vinyl acetate.

We at Bulldog Direct Protective Systems, Inc. offer the following categories of Bullet Resistant Glass products:

Lightweight Transparent Armor [LTA] Vehicle Safety Glass

2010-02-19T21:46:00.000-05:00

Lightweight Transparent Armor [LTA] Vehicle Safety Glass
LTA Glass Protection:
Anti-Theft - Defeats penetration by common hand-held threats such as a center punch, tire iron, ball peen hammer, etc.

Anti- Riot - Disallows penetration of thrown objects from vandalism and riot situations including rocks, bricks, bottles, cinder blocks, molotov cocktails, etc.

Anti-Physical Assault - Resists forced entry and prolonged attack from hammers, hatchets, baseball bats, sledge hammers pick ax, etc.

Ballistic Protection - from small powered hand and shotgun rounds. [13mm]

Discreet Protection - looks like normal automotive glass and does not call attention to its capabilities.

Directly Interchangeable - with OEM auto glass without vehicle modification.

Improved Safety - LTA is anti-lacerative and eliminates dangerous flying glass fragments when exterior glass is broken.

Impact Break Resistant - The energy absorption characteristics of the added polycarbonate and interlayers greatly increase the breakage resistance of the OEM glass.

Vehicle glass has always been the weakest link when it comes to protecting any passenger vehicle.
All automotive side and rear glass safety standards are set by the Federal Government. These standards call for all side and rear glass to, when broken, not break into shards that have dangerously sharp edges that can injure passengers. Standards call for tempered glass to be used for side and rear windows. Tempered glass is plate glass that has been heated to a high temperature and then quenched quickly in oil. Tempered glass breaks into small round pebbles with no sharp edges, However this does not provide any protection for the vehicle occupants except from the weather!

TA Glass: is standard 5/32 auto glass backed with thin layers of polycarbonate that are bonded to the inside of the vehicle glass with polyurethane bonding interlayers. LTA offers anti-penetration protection: is Impact break resistant LTA resists forced entry and prolonged attacks from hammers, hatchets, baseball bats, pipes, sledge hammers, pick ax, and protection from thrown objects such as rocks, bricks, bottles, cinder blocks, molotov cocktails, etc., as well protection from theft!
LTA comes in two levels of protection: 6 mm [ anti-penetration; "smash & grab" protection ] and LTA 13mm. LTA 13 mm provides all of the above protection but with the addition of protection from small powered hand and shotgun rounds.

Whether your requirements are Wheels for Automobiles, Trucks, Military Vehicles, High-Security Armored Limousines We Can Fill Your Needs.

Our Service Includes: All requisite Certifications of Compliance to whatever standards are required by your end user. Performed by independent testing laboratories. We can manufacture Wheels in Steel, or Forged or Cast Aluminum, in one, two or three piece units, as required by your vehicles design needs. Multi-piece wheels can be bolted or welded together.

All Wheels can be built to the load bearing specifications as required for your custom application. We can manufacturer Custom Wheels up to 24" in diameter. Wheel surfaces are prepared for finishing via an aqueous pretreatment process, electrostatic powder coated and cured in a high tempature oven to produce a high quality corrosive -resistant finish in the color of your choice.

Completed Wheels can also be fitted with our Run Flat Tire Inserts [ Standard / or Blast Land mine ] depending on your needs as well as a Tire of your choice. The result is is a complete assembly balanced and ready to install on your vehicle. If you also have needs for sold tires or bonded rubber wheels please contact us.

All of our Wheels, and Run Flat Tire Insert assemblies meet ISO 9000 standards. The history on every Wheel is completely traceable via serial numbering. All operations and key quality control parameters are bar coded and recorded in our computer system, thus the history of every product can be identified at all times.

Land Mine / Blast Protection: VFI (Variable Function Insert ) - a solid rubber insert that fits securely around a multi-piece, "flat base" rim. The device is inserted into a tubeless tire, which is in turn fitted around the wheel, thus becoming an "assembly" of complimentary components all designed to work together to provide optimum mobility. Two types of wheels are satisfactory for use in this "assembly" either a "2 piece bolt together" or a "3 piece lock ring style" which utilizes a lock ring and side ring to secure all the parts together. In addition, the VFI provides improved survivability for vehicle occupants due to the nature of its design and the added benefit of the dense rubber material from which the product is manufactured. The Bulldog VFI is also designed to function as both a beadlock and Run Flat, thus providing maximum performance in all terrain conditions. Most importantly, the VFI meets all U.S. military standards, as well as the FINABEL and NATO standards required by most European military agencies making the VFI the most widely used Run Flat in the world.

Curved Bullet Resistant Vehicle Glass

Our Curved Bullet Resistant Glass systems for vehicles offer you an unparalleled combination of visual clarity and superior attack and ballistic protection, making them the most effective protective vehicle glass products available today! We custom fabricate each Bullet Resistant Vehicle Glass system to meet your unique specifications and to fit within your budget. Our Bullet Proof Vehicle Glass systems are fabricated using the latest equipment: high-temperature, computerized slumping and forming ovens to shape the curves and bends required for many of today's modern vehicles in addition we use high-pressure autoclaves, vacuum assisted cutting and layout tables. All of our glass systems are assembled under atmosphere-controlled clean-room conditions.

Curved Bullet Resistant Glass
is a Glass-Clad Polycarbonate multi- ply composite laminate combing Polycarbonate and Glass using special polyurethane high adhesion bonding interlayers which allow or the expansion / contraction differential of both materials. This special interlayer and the manufacturing process are key elements in controlling the 10:1 thermal expansion ratio. This design allows us significant latitude to almost any Ballistic Threat from .9mm handguns to .30-06 Armor Piercing Rounds. Combining the the obvious advantages of glass and Polycarbonate provides 3 primary benefits over ALL-Glass composites. #1= Thickness and weight savings up to 60% over conventional ALL-Glass systems. #2= Multiple impact protection ,and high ballistic protection from rifles. #3= The high structural integrity of Polycarbonate with the abrasion, chemical, flame resistance of Glass.

Polycarbonate is plastic material 30 times stronger than acrylic which is 17 times stronger than an equal thickness of single strength glass. Polycarbonate ,therefore,is an excellent impact barrier and is used as the core material of our Bullet Resistant composite. Polycarbonate is susceptible to abrasion, scratching, chemical attack, heat or flame. Polycarbonate alone is not an effective ballistics barrier above handgun protection. Our solution is a combination o these materials to take advantage of their benefits while eliminating their individual shortcomings.

All of our Protective Glass systems are directly interchangeable with OEM [ Original Equipment Manufacturer ] parts .Our Curved Bullet Resistant Glass meets standards set by: [ANSI] American National Standards Institute, [SAE] the Society of Automotive Engineers [DOT] Department of Transportation, [ASTM] American Standard Testing Materials. Ballistic testing provided by: H.P.White Laboratories Inc.

Dyneema Armor Panels

2010-02-17T21:49:00.000-05:00

Dyneema / Spectra Shield© 50"x63" Vehicle Armor Panels are the strongest, lightest, composite ballistic material made today! Spectra Shield isn't a woven fabric like most ballistic materials i.e. [ Kevlar] used today! But instead, a thin,flexible ballistic composite made from two layers of unidirectional fibers held in place by flexible resins. These fibers are arranged so they cross each other at 0 and 90 degree angles, then, both fiber and resin layers are sealed between two thin sheets of polyethylene film similar to sarran wrap. Spectra Shield is ten times stronger than steel.

Dyneema / Spectra Shield composite armor panels are readily cut and fabricated using commonly available tools [saber saw with a knife blade will easily cut the panels.] The panels can then be glued in place, or installed with screws, nuts and bolts, etc. Butt joints are ballistically weak, reinforce them with a min. 4" wide strip of same level of material to cover any gaps in the panels.

Our Dyneema / Spectra Shield panels panels were tested behind .040 aluminum panels, go to next higher level of protection for stand alone applications.

Kevlar Armor Panels

2010-02-17T21:46:00.000-05:00

Kevlar :50"x41" Vehicle Armor Panels. The big breakthrough in the development of modern ballistic armor was the creation of the aramid fibers called "KEVLAR" Kevlar is the registered trade name used by Du Pont for the aramid fiber. Kevlar was originally marketed for use in strengthening radial tire belts but soon found applications in protective clothing, cables, and protective housings for equipment. Because Kevlar is a flexible fiber, it can be woven into cloth, Such cloth is strong enough to stop high-speed projectiles and -in layers- will stop bullets. Kevlar composites will stop most handgun rounds up to .44 Magum.

Bulldog Direct Offers Two Different Types Of Bullet Resistant Vests

Standard Bullet Resistant Vests:

We carry a full line of "Standard" Bullet Resistant Vests manufactured with either Kevlar or Spectra Shield ballistic material. Ballistic vests are made using multiple layers of very strong fiber to "catch" and deform a bullet, mushrooming it into a dish shape, and spreading its force over a larger portion of the vest fiber. The vest absorbs the energy from the deforming bullet, bringing it to a stop before it can completely penetrate the ballistic material. Some layers may be penetrated but as the bullet deforms, the energy is absorbed by a larger and larger fiber area. A ballistic vest, bulletproof vest or bullet-resistant vest is an item of protective clothing that helps absorb the impact from handgun rounds up to .44 magnum, and is worn on the torso. Our "Standard" Bullet Resistant Vests are only designed to stop threats from handgun rounds and offer no protection from sharp objects such as Knifes and ice picks our full line of "Stab" Bullet Resistant Vests listed below do offer such protection.

Stab And Bullet Resistant Vests:

We also carry a full line of "Stab" Bullet Resistant Vests

Stab - Guard: Protection from vicious slash and stab attacks that our "Standard Bullet Resistant Vests cannot. You know the kind. The up-close and personal attacks. The ones that can really do some lasting damage. Bulldog Direct's "Stab - Guard" line of Knife and Bullet Resistant Vests are leading the field with new technology. This amazing material is called Stab - Guard and is manufactured with a superfine fiber that is woven into a very dense fabric which resists penetration by even the smallest tip. For more than two decades, KEVLAR has been the technology leader in protective soft body armor. This new fiber is four times thinner than normal ballistic fibers ( for an ultra dense weave) and five times stronger than steal. The vests are tightly woven construction in a flexible fabric format so that impact energy is dissipated and fibers are less likely to spread apart puncture or penetration by a weapon.

DOJ Launches the Largest Single Investigation and Prosecution Action Against Individuals in the History of the FCPA

"DOJ Launches the Largest Single Investigation and Prosecution Action Against Individuals in the History of the FCPA"

On January 18 and 19, 2010, 16 indictments of executives and employees of companies engaged in the production of goods for military and law enforcement were unsealed and 22 defendants were arrested as part of an FBI investigation into allegations that the individuals had violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). In connection with the investigation, the FBI executed 14 search warrants across the country, including in Florida, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Also, the United Kingdom’s City of London Police executed seven search warrants related to their own investigation into the same activities at some of the same companies.

The indictments allege that the defendants participated in a scheme to pay a 22% commission to a sales agent who represented the minister of defense for a country in Africa in order to win part of a $15 million deal to provide products to the country’s presidential guard. The defendants were told that half of the commission would be paid directly to the minister. The defendants allegedly agreed to create price quotations that represented the true costs of the goods plus the commission, as well as price quotations that only included the true price of the goods. In addition, according to the indictments, the defendants agreed to participate in “test” deals to show the minister that he would personally receive the 10% bribe. Unbeknownst to the defendants, the sales agent with whom they were arranging payments was an undercover FBI agent, and there was no involvement by any minister of defense.

While the United States Department of Justice's (“DOJ”) press release does not provide the names of the companies that the defendants worked for, from the description of the individuals, it is clear that multiple companies were involved. The DOJ's press release describes the individuals as follows:

Daniel Alvirez, 32, and Lee Allen Tolleson, 25, the president and director of acquisitions and logistics at a company in Bull Shoals, Ark., that manufactures and sells law enforcement and military equipment;
Helmie Ashiblie, 44, the vice president and founder of a company in Woodbridge, Va., that supplies tactical bags and other security-related articles for law enforcement agencies and governments worldwide;
Andrew Bigelow, 40, the managing partner and director of government programs for a Sarasota, Fla., company that sells machine guns, grenade launchers and other small arms and accessories;
R. Patrick Caldwell, 61, and Stephen Gerard Giordanella, 50, the current and former chief executive officers of a Sunrise, Fla., company that designs and manufactures concealable and tactical body armor;
Yochanan R. Cohen, a/k/a Yochi Cohen, 47, the chief executive officer of a San Francisco company that manufactures security equipment, including body armor and ballistic plates;
Haim Geri, 50, the president of a North Miami Beach, Fla., company that serves as a sales agent for companies in the law enforcement and military products industries;
Amaro Goncalves, 49, the vice president of sales for a Springfield, Mass., company that designs and manufactures firearms, firearm safety/security products, rifles, firearms systems and accessories;
John Gregory Godsey, a/k/a Greg Godsey, 37, and Mark Frederick Morales, 37, the owner and agent of a Decatur, Ga., company that sells ammunition and other law enforcement and military equipment;
Saul Mishkin, 38, the owner and chief executive officer of an Aventura, Fla., company that sells law enforcement and military equipment;
John M. Mushriqui, 28, and Jeana Mushriqui, 30, the director of international development and general counsel/U.S. manager of an Upper Darby, Penn., company that manufactures and exports bulletproof vests and other law enforcement and military equipment;
David R. Painter, 56, and Lee M. Wares, 43, the chairman and director of a United Kingdom company that markets armored vehicles;
Pankesh Patel, 43, the managing director of a United Kingdom company that acts as sales agent for companies in the law enforcement and military products industries;
Ofer Paz, 50, the president and chief executive officer of an Israeli company that acts as sales agent for companies in the law enforcement and military products industries;
Jonathan M. Spiller, 58, the owner and president of a Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., company that markets and sells law enforcement and military equipment;
Israel Weisler, a/k/a Wayne Weisler, 63, and Michael Sachs, 66, owners and co-chief executive officers of a Stearns, Ky., company that designs, manufactures and sells armor products, including body armor; and
John Benson Wier III, 46, the president of a St. Petersburg, Fla., company that sells tactical and ballistic equipment.
Each of the defendants was indicted on charges of conspiracy to violate the FCPA, conspiracy to engage in money laundering, and substantive violations of the FCPA. The indictments also seek criminal forfeiture.

These indictments, searches, and arrests are notable for several reasons. First, the indictments represent the first large-scale use of undercover law enforcement techniques to bring an FCPA enforcement action and the largest single investigation and prosecution against individuals by the DOJ. There is also every indication that more such operations will follow given Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer’s warning that, “[f]rom now on, would-be FCPA violators should stop and ponder whether the person they are trying to bribe might really be a federal agent.”

Additionally, the indictments possibly mark the beginning of a new focus on the military and law enforcement products industry. In the past, the DOJ has launched industry-wide investigations after it discovered that a few industry players had potential FCPA issues. It is safe to say that this industry should prepare for increased FCPA scrutiny.

Finally, these indictments are yet another example of cooperation between U.S. law enforcement officials and those in the United Kingdom in investigating and enforcing anti-corruption laws.

FBI arrests 21 In Las Vegas in foreign bribery sting

2010-01-21T13:19:00.000-05:00

WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities accused 22 people, including an executive for Smith & Wesson Holding Corp (SWHC.O), with violating federal bribery laws involving the sale of various arms, the U.S. Justice Department said on Tuesday.

The indictments charged the individuals, including Smith & Wesson Vice President for Sales Amaro Goncalves, with violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and conspiracy to commit money laundering involving the sale of items including guns and body armor.

Also charged was the chief executive of Protective Products of America Inc (PPA.TO), R. Patrick Caldwell, who previously worked for the U.S. Secret Service for 27 years and was the special agent in charge of the division for the vice president's protection.

That company filed for bankruptcy protection last week and sought approval to be acquired by an affiliate of the private investment firm Sun Capital Partners Inc.

The indictments, filed in December, were unsealed by a U.S. judge on Tuesday and follow undercover operations last year. The individuals were arrested on Monday in Las Vegas and Miami.

In the case involving Goncalves, an unidentified business associate who was a former executive for an arms manufacturer arranged a meeting between Goncalves and two undercover FBI agents who posed as representatives of an unnamed African country's minister of defense, the indictment stated.

The agents told Goncalves that in order to win a contract for the sale of guns he would have to add a 20 percent "commission" to price quotes, half of which would go to the purported minister of defense and the rest would be split between the others, according to the indictment.

Goncalves provided price quotes for two sales, a small one of 25 guns and a larger one with 1,800 pistols. He gave two price quotes for the transactions, including one that had its price inflated by 20 percent, the indictment said. (Reporting by Dan Margolies and Jeremy Pelofsky, editing by Gerald E. McCormick)

The FBI arrested 21 people Monday in Las Vegas in what is being described as the largest single investigation and prosecution against individuals in the history of the Justice Department's enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Those individuals and another person arrested in Miami are executives and employees of military and law enforcement products companies who were indicted for engaging in schemes to bribe foreign government officials to obtain and retain business, the Justice Department announced today.

In connection with the FBI's undercover operation, 16 indictments were unsealed today. The indictments were returned on Dec. 11 by a grand jury in Washington.

All 21 of the individuals arrested in Las Vegas had been attending the 2010 Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show and Conference, which runs from today through Friday at the Sands Expo & Convention Center. All were arrested off-site at an undisclosed location in the city, federal authorities said at a press conference held in Washington.
...

The investigation involved roughly 150 FBI agents who executed search warrants throughout the country. London police also assisted in the investigation.
...

Those who were indicted and the location of their companies included Daniel Alvirez and Lee Allen Tolleson, Bull Shoals, Ark., Helmie Ashiblie, Woodbridge, Va., Andrew Bigelow, Sarasota, Fla., R. Patrick Caldwell and Stephen Gerard Giordanella, Sunrise, Fla., Yochanan Cohen, San Francisco, Haim Geri, North Miami Beach, Fla., Amaro Goncalves, Springfield, Mass., John Gregory Godsey and Mark Frederick Morales, Decatur, Ga., Saul Mishkin, Aventura, Fla., John and Jeana Mushriqui, Upper Darby, Pa., David Painter and Lee Wares, United Kingdom, Pankesh Patel, United Kingdom, Ofer Paz, Israel, Israel Weisler and Michael Sachs, Stearns, Ky., and John Benson Wier III, St. Petersburg, Fla.

The maximum prison sentence for the conspiracy count and for each FCPA count is five years. The maximum sentence for the money laundering conspiracy charge is 20 years in prison.
