Ballistic Simulation Head

The design replicates key anatomical properties of the human head. Users can select different materials and internal structures to suit specific testing protocols.

Ballistic Simulation Head Material Options

Choose the core material according to the type of ballistic testing and data you need.

20% NATO Ballistic Gelatin

20% NATO ballistic gelatin provides a transparent and calibrated test medium. It closely represents the density and response of human soft tissue.

The transparent material allows researchers to record projectile behaviour using high-speed video. Testing can show penetration, projectile path and temporary cavity formation. The gelatin also retains a permanent wound channel for later examination and analysis.

Ballistic Soap

Ballistic soap provides an alternative medium for studying energy transfer and projectile effects.

Unlike gelatin, ballistic soap undergoes plastic deformation during impact. As a result, it retains the cavity created by the projectile. Researchers can then measure, examine or cast this cavity to assess energy displacement and projectile performance.

Anatomical and Tactical Upgrades

The Ballistic Simulation Head can include additional anatomical structures to increase test realism.

Internal Skeletal System

An optional internal skeletal system includes a realistic skull, lower mandible and teeth. These components allow researchers to study projectile interaction with hard tissue.

The structure can also demonstrate bone fragmentation, projectile deflection and changes to the projectile path after impact.

Forensic, Ballistic and PPE Testing

The Ballistic Simulation Head suits a range of controlled testing applications, including:

• Ballistic research and development
• Forensic ballistic investigation
• Projectile penetration studies
• High-speed impact recording
• Wound channel analysis
• Energy transfer assessment
• Helmet and head protection evaluation
• Personal protective equipment testing
• Police, military and specialist ballistic training

Made to Order

We manufacture every Ballistic Simulation Head to order. This process allows us to prepare the selected test medium specifically for each customer’s requirements.

Made-to-order production also helps maintain material quality and supports consistent testing conditions.

Urgent Testing Requirements

If you have a specific test date or urgent project deadline, please contact our team before placing your order.

We can discuss your required specification, material choice and production schedule before confirming the order.
