AS THREATS INCREASE, PROTECTIVE INSERTS MADE WITH DYNEEMA® HELP KEEP BRITISH SOLDIERS SAFER
Urmond (NL), June 12, 2006 - To provide its soldiers with a higher level of protection, the UK Ministry of Defence is incorporating super-strong, lightweight Dyneema® unidirectional sheet material (UD) from DSM into the new inserts for the new Osprey body armor.
