How First Responders Use Drones: Why Testing Matters As drone technology becomes more advanced and reliable, the use of drones by first responders has become more prevalent. From initial assessments of threatening situations, ensuring emergency response teams arrive as quickly as possible, to surveying traffic collisions and site evaluations, drones
Ballistic Manufacturers Need Due Diligence Measures They Can Trust In the world of ballistic protection, “safety” is one of the most commonly used words, but also one of the least defined. As global threats evolve on a rapid scale, and manufacturers face the task of creating future-forward systems, the objective
How to Make Less Lethal Deployment Better with Ballistic Testing Less-lethal weapons provide law enforcement with lower-risk alternatives for scene control, compliance and deterrence without causing permanent harm. What many misunderstand, however, is that less-lethal does not mean non-lethal. The reality is that any object propelled with high energy runs
What the New NPRM Means for Drone Safety Testing As drones continue to expand into commercial, industrial, and government applications, creating a cohesive set of safety standards remains a driving priority for regulators. The latest Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) introduces key changes designed to better protect people on the
Reasons Why BLSH Improves Testing for Military Helmets Head protection remains one of the most critical challenges in preventing injuries in the military. While today’s helmets have come a long way from previous designs, penetration isn’t the only concern wearers may encounter in the field. In fact, serious injury can
On the Need for Effective for Effective Stab Protection in Correctional Facilities Correctional officers (COs) face many dangers in their line of work, and with inmate attacks on personnel steadily growing year over year, the threat of being stabbed remains significant. Proper personal protective equipment is vital to navigating such
Why Trauma Testing Is Vital For Better Modern Military Equipment Blunt trauma remains one of the most serious and complex injury mechanisms faced by military personnel. Even when armour successfully prevents penetration, the kinetic transfer of energy can often cause severe internal injuries, long-term disabilities, or even death. With modern
Understanding how injuries occur and preventing them is essential in environments where safety is critical. From law enforcement and military applications to the sports field, transport, and construction industries, rigorous testing with a deep understanding of injuries helps drive forward mitigation and the development of new regulations that minimize overall
Helmet performance and safety have dramatically improved over the past decade, thanks largely to advancements in materials, designs, and testing methods. That said, a gap still exists when it comes to adequately assessing the risks that lead to concussions and other head injuries. In 2025, there will be a continued
As drone technology continues to rapidly evolve, regulators have become increasingly concerned with establishing standards of safety compliance for manufacturers and operators.
