The US Marine Corps is developing special bulletproof armor technology that can help stop bleeding from wounds soldiers encounter on the battlefield.

According to the source, the invention was invented by a US Marine named Matthew Long. The special feature of the armor is that it is not only made of special reinforced layers of materials to help protect against bullets, but is also covered with a layer of material that helps stop bleeding from wounds. This can save the lives of many soldiers on the battlefield from the risk of dying from blood loss due to open wounds.

New armor technology is currently being tested on several armor lines with different levels of protection, including a generation of armor reinforced with ceramic pieces that helps protect soldiers from shrapnel and 9mm bullets.

According to the explanation of soldier M. Long, the hemostasis effect of the new generation of bulletproof armor is thanks to special compound packages containing painkillers and blood clotting agents. However, specific information about the new generation of bulletproof armor has not been disclosed.

The US military is now 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 complete his invention. The Pentagon hopes that M. Long's invention will turn into a real product as soon as possible.

Recently, the US Army has also developed protective uniform and body armor technology that can stop bleeding thanks to inflatable buoys that immobilize injured body parts or areas. This system works thanks to sensors mounted on the armor. However, it is unclear whether the technology is complete or not.

In addition to 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 block stronger than steel when impacted by external forces. However, this technology still needs time to perfect. The UK is the leading country in developing this technology.
