The US Army began testing the "Spider-Man" body armor material from the transgenic silkworm
The UK Daily Mail website published a report on August 20th entitled The US Army began testing bulletproof spider suits with materials that are stronger than steel.

The US Army began testing new spider suits and body armor.

This bulletproof suit is made of a material called a dragon filament (a panel-like flexible fabric) that will be tested for critical soldier protection applications including ballistic impact.

The manufacturing company of the product claims that this is one of the most sturdy materials known to man and is produced using genetically modified silkworms.


The US biotechnology company, Craig Biotechnology Lab, disclosed that it had delivered the first samples to the US military.

The company said: These samples will be evaluated to determine their effectiveness in intercepting bullets in order to provide our combat personnel with a lighter, more comfortable alternative to traditional protective clothing.

Long silk is a genetically modified spider silk that mimics the strength and toughness of natural spider silk, but can be produced in large quantities by the company's specially cultivated silkworms.

The transgenic silkworm has been developed as a direct replacement for traditional silk production infrastructure, producing more than 150,000 tons of silk per year.

The company says the resulting spider silk is very flexible, more comfortable, and provides the wearer with greater mobility and flexibility.

Jean Rice, chief operating officer of the Craig Biotechnology Laboratory, said: After years of research and investment, we have developed this breakthrough technology, and now we can see that the US military uses this technology, we very happy.

He said: For me personally, and for the company, it is a great honor to have the opportunity to help protect the warriors who are dedicated to defending the people.


The company is preparing to open a production plant in Vietnam to greatly expand the production capacity of Longsi and many other spider silk products.

The spider silk is very strong and theoretically provides a lighter and more flexible ballistic protection than traditional bulletproof clothing such as Kevlar.

It is well known that spider silk has superior strength, flexibility and ballistic resistance, but it turns out that it is impossible to raise a large number of spiders for production, because spiders usually kill each other.

The Craig Biotechnology Laboratory says that transgenic silkworms are more practical and can produce more of this material.

The company said it has applied for patents for a number of genetic proteins that are subsequently implanted in silkworms for the production of body armor. (Compile / Emei)
