The US is developing body armor capable of healing wounds.

The U.S. Marine Corps is developing special bulletproof vest technology that can help stop bleeding from wounds soldiers sustain on the battlefield.

According to the source, the invention was created by a US Marine named Matthew Long. The unique feature of this body armor is that it is not only constructed from layers of special reinforced materials to protect against bullets, but also has a layer of material that helps stop bleeding from wounds. This could save the lives of many soldiers on the battlefield from the risk of death due to blood loss from open wounds.

New body armor technology is currently being tested on several lines of body armor with different levels of protection, including a generation of armor reinforced with ceramic plates to protect soldiers from shrapnel and 9mm direct hits.

According to soldier M. Long's explanation, the hemostatic effect of the new generation of bulletproof vests is due to special compound packages containing painkillers and clotting agents. However, specific details about this new generation of bulletproof vests have not been disclosed.

U.S. military officials are currently very interested in the invention of soldier M. Long. He has been transferred to work at a facility of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to refine his invention. The Pentagon hopes that M. Long's initiative will become a practical product as soon as possible.

Recently, the US military has also developed a technology for military uniforms and body armor that can stop bleeding using inflatable floats that stabilize injured body parts or areas. This system works thanks to sensors attached to the armor. However, it is unclear whether this technology is yet perfected.

Besides the US, many countries around the world are also researching special materials that can be applied to bulletproof vests, notably liquid armor technology. The principle of the liquid mixture in protective armor is based on nano-membrane technology. It has the effect of binding materials into a solid mass stronger than steel when subjected to external force. However, this technology still needs time to be perfected. The UK is a leading country in developing this technology.
