Abstract
The aim of the project is to develop a method that can replace the old, clay based, method of measuring BABT - Behind Armour Blunt Trauma. The new criterion will be based on movement registrations in a test rigg, made to resemble a pig thorax. The rigg and registration methods are ready and a substantial amount of data has been collected, that will be used for the formulation of the new safety criterion.
