I think thirty years from now the same conversation will be had about SWIR night vision and MWIR thermals. Eventually a kind of super-fusion will emerge between NIR, SWIR, and MWIR spectrums that sees NV, can see things that try to hide from NV, and see thermal signatures through fog, smoke, even glass.
Also wall penetrating radars for combat in built up areas.

JC, the relationship between signal jammers and radios is ultimately identical to the relationship between laser dazzlers and LAMs. Jammers and dazzlers are the evil dickhead stepbrothers to honest products, made by the MJ-12 bureaucracy to respectively ruin your communications and your eyeballs.

JC, to determine the Hesco situation we need to look at Manderley's secret files.
1. Hesco started their body armor business in 2014 when they bought out Reed Composite Solutions. They inherited a range of models. 4400, 4600, a 4610, 3400, 3590, 1520, 3600, 3410, 3610. At this time they likely also had the 4800 but it was probably black-side until 2018 when it released to the public.
2. At the same time they also had the 4520, which was the 5.4lb ICW IIIA XSAPI that lost the FBI contract to the LTC 28601. We can verify this plate existed at a time. Can't verify it worked.
3. Many of Hesco's inherited plates, 4400, 4600, 3410, 3610, all got NIJ suspensions. Poorly heat-treated ceramic strike faces. This is a supplier issue because Hesco doesn't make their own ceramics. It's usually either Bitossi or St. Gobain. The fact Hesco didn't check this shit meant either their staff from Reed didn't know what they were doing or, more likely, they had brain drain. Could be both.
4. All of Hesco's latest plates (3802, 3812, 4801, 4601) are downgrades from their predecessors, suggesting it's not really just the strike face and the plates also are underbuilt. Again, also brain drain. 3801 / 3811 are anomalies and probably underbuilt / run hot on BFD.
5. Accordingly, the 4520 is probably also underbuilt. The 3814 is fucking mediocre.
6. The 3885 is superior to any known LTC or Tencate plate, they're companies with much greater resources than Hesco. It's comparable to a Ceradyne made at the company's height in 2007.
7. Ergo, it follows the 4520 is no longer on the table because brain drain and the 3885, if it does exist, means Hesco arbitrarily settled on their civie lineup sucking balls. LTC and Tencate do the same thing so that's not impossible.
As for the 28855, all-PE M855 stoppers are a thing but they're heavier / thicker than equivalent ceramics, plus also much more expensive. Combat Systems can do it (apparently), so LTC can do it if a literal who can do it.
