In this study, the uncertainty in the ballistic test was calculated. Characteristic factor plots were used to identify the sources of uncertainty. The results are as follows. First, the uncertainty about the projectile was calculated to be 0.008m/s. Second, the uncertainty for depth measurement was calculated to be 0.03mm. The biggest factor influencing the uncertainty was the human error by the measurer. Therefore, in order to reduce the uncertainty, it is necessary to minimize human intervention by introducing automatic measuring equipment.

This study examines the domestic and international bulletproof test standards of armor and plate which are supplied to the domestic market. In addition, improvements and suggestions for the test standard were presented. Experiments were conducted to clarify the distances to the edge, the difference between ammunition makers, and the position of the impact point of the bulletproof plate, which have been discussed in the conventional bulletproof test. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the bulletproof performance is excellent as the distance from the edge increases. Next, performance differences between ammunition makers were not found. Finally, plates should be applied to the US ESAPI test specification to provide a clear and reproducible test method.
