Transparent amour
Update: as some of you know i posted our efforts to get weight down in the assault hummers etc.. and we are getting there with lighter weight amour. Along with making transparent aluminum glass for laser guided missiles and radar arrays under jets we are getting closer to our goals. While i cannot post many pics here are a couple that can be released.
this pic shows our ALON material getting thinner with more and more R&D work. I will post more as they are released by our company for viewing.

If I remember right,
Transparent aluminum was developed in 1986 by Plexicorp's Dr. Nichols thru a partnership with a Scottish engineer , Montgomory Scott.
This took place in San Francisco Ca
Good to see they are finally putting it to a good use other than marine life transportation.
