Abstract: A flexible body armor design is proposed and it will be fabricated and evaluated for its conformance to a soldier's body movements and for its ballistic efficacy.

Benefits:  Defense: Flexible body armor for soldiers in the battle field.  Other: Flexible body armor for civil and DEA law enforcement personnel.
