If I had to guess, it would be because since the armor is already NIJ certified and demonstrably superior, there is less urgency at this point in re-testing it for more in-depth measurements of its properties. Plus, given that there is manufacturing required to gain an inventory of plates and sell them, along with working out quality control/assurance and insurance, there are more up-front time-and-money-intensive hurdles to clear in regard to generating revenue. On the other hand, testing for the heat sink/applications mix properties hadn't been done prior to the testing that just occurred, and having those properties measured officially makes for an easier sell to companies (like JBT). Plus, with less up-front overhead as with the plates, the "mix" can be sold much easier and faster to companies who want to use it (as mentioned in a previous post of mine, just some up-front technical guidance is required along with the raw materials for companies to make their own parts), and if a clear delineation can be made between the heat-sink mix and the armor mix, then ITAR doesn't have to be a stumbling point if/when selling to foreign companies (as was the case with JBT).
