Plastic applications in the defense industry

Plastic particular resin-based composite materials, engineering plastics, plastic and other functions, with its superior chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, lightweight, variable mechanical properties in a wide range of weapons to get the application. Has become a weapon to achieve lightweight, rapid response, high power, large range precision strike, high survivability of key materials, developed countries are the plastic and composite materials included in the focus of its development plans.
Plastics and composite materials are also suitable for the overall performance of the development needs of high-tech weapons. FRP has already used weapons, advanced plastics and composite materials have been started by a strategic weapon to promote the application of conventional weapons, for weapons lightweight, anti-munitions, stealth, back sprayers heat and military development of electronic technology has played an important role.
Modern ground battlefield, tanks, armored vehicles accounted for 70% of ground targets, thus armor and anti-armor attack and defense is always one of the topics Marines. Key plans contain undisclosed special reports. As the plastic and composite material has excellent dynamic properties, against the special bomb had a marked effect. Gulf War, the United States MLAI tanks used by the poor aryl wheel axis single crystal whiskers fiber textile mesh embedded in plastic and composite materials for composite armor interlayer. Practice has proved that this sandwich has a high ballistic armor, in order to deal with high armor, anti-armor technology is developing rapidly developed abroad in the development of highly penetrating tungsten composites reinforced uranium armor-piercing bomb core. According to the plans of key technologies and materials listed in the relevant technical research and analysis, a new anti-armor weapons and guns are expected in 2007 successfully developed.

Modern photoelectric detection technology, anti-stealth ninja constitute war with the new offensive and defensive issues. perfume sprayer U.S. stealth technology in view of the war in the sea bend tremendous success of research is accelerating stealth tanks, use of equipment is expected in 2000. As the plastic and composite materials capable of absorbing infrared waves, so using plastic and composite materials are an effective way to stealth tanks, plastic and composite materials with a refractive index close to the earth, it is easy to make tanks hidden in the mountains and jungles, these materials are: ferrite resin composite material, rubber ferrite, a carbon fiber composite material, ferrite / carbon fiber / polyether ether ketone. Key technical requirements goals developed in 2001 to further reduce radar and infrared signal characteristics of advanced stealth composite materials.
