Bob, what are the current non-ceramic armors? Ceradyne armor ceramic plates are what the troops use in Afghanistan. The next generation xsapi plates are also ceramic by Ceradyne.

Can you name the company/brand that our troops are using under live enemy fire that is non-ceramic.

I assume you can.

Ballistically the non-ceramic, polycomposite plates are rated the same as the ceramic. That's why there are certification labs and orgs to provide a national standard and a level playing field.

What is your point? Is it that the certification agencies/labs are short changing the polycomposite armor plates by giving them lower ratings than they deserve? If they have the same ballistic rating as the ceramics, then then they are certified to stop those types of rounds shot at predetermined velocities.
