Research abstract
To address the Air ForceÆs need for advanced Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) protection, Allkemie LLC proposes the development of a two-part Graphene CBRN Overgarment. This innovative protective suit integrates graphene materials to provide superior CBRN resistance and ballistic protection while significantly reducing weight and thermal load. The first part of the overgarment, a cloth-like graphene composite, offers enhanced maneuverability and comprehensive protection against CBRN agents. The second part consists of a graphene/polymer composite for ballistic protection, capable of meeting or exceeding Level III+ standards at a fraction of the weight of current solutions. This dual-layer approach ensures maximum protection and comfort for military personnel in hazardous environments, enhancing mission readiness and operational effectiveness.
