    Supplemental Award 2 (Fiscal Year 2011, $350,000)
This funding is conduct phase two of the assessment of the use of tactical protective equipment against a suicide bomber.  The purpose of phase one testing was to inform first responders (SWAT/Bomb squad personnel), dealing with suicide bombers in a congested urban setting, as to a minimum safe distance estimate (injury/lethality risk) to be maintained between the bomber and first responders.  These funds would be utilized for phase two testing in order to further knowledge gained in phase one, which was completed in early 2010.   The purpose of the phase two effort would be to conduct explosives testing to gather data that will:  1) further knowledge gained in phase one testing, including better defined safe distance estimates; 2) inform the body armor standards effort, and 3) inform law enforcement tactics and policy regarding the suicide bomber threat.
