Philip Dudt, a researcher at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division in West Bethesda, Md., is the co-recipient of the 2014 Vice Adm. Harold G. Bowen Award for Patented Inventions for his role in the patent "Armor Including a Strain Rate Hardening Elasotmer." The patent, which Dudt shares with co-inventor Dr. Roshdy Barsoum, a researcher at the Office of Naval Research, is for the use of an explosive resistant coating as a lightweight alternative to armor for ships and ground vehicles. Research continues for ways to use the explosive resistant coating with the latest work involving applications of the elastomer to helmets as a means to further mitigate explosive and ballistic impact damage to personnel.
