Performance of Nomex Military Uniforms in Attacks by Flame Field Expedient Weapons - A Literature Study

摘要

The purpose of this final report is to highlight on the development and design of flame resistant uniforms such as Nomex brand uniforms and whether they provide greater protection from burns than Desert Camouflage Uniforms (DCUs). Assessments on the Nomex uniforms and DCUs have been made based on the research evaluations and tests conducted by government and industry. Various types of fabrics have also been evaluated to determine which provide insulating qualities that were most appropriate for thermal protection.
