3543 company early warning machine microwave protective clothing developed successfully

Recently, Jihua Group's 3543 Company has taken an active role in collaboration with the Air Force Logistics Department’s Military Needs Division and the Air Force Research Department. Together, they have successfully developed advanced microwave protective clothing designed for early warning aircraft personnel. This innovative product marks a significant step forward in protecting aircrew from harmful electromagnetic radiation during complex missions. It is reported that modern airborne early warning (AEW) systems are increasingly operating in highly contested electromagnetic environments. With numerous electronic devices onboard, the intensity of electromagnetic confrontation exercises has risen dramatically, exposing aircrew to potentially dangerous levels of radiation. In response, the new protective clothing was designed with a strong focus on fabric quality, functionality, and user comfort. The outer layer of the garment is made from silver-coated fiber fabric, which effectively reflects and absorbs over 99% of electromagnetic radiation within the frequency range of 30 MHz to 20 GHz. This ensures near-total protection against harmful exposure. The inner layer uses modified polyester hollow fibers, known as "spinning cotton," which helps regulate moisture and temperature automatically, offering both breathability and the softness of traditional cotton. This combination greatly enhances overall comfort and performance. In terms of design, the protective clothing features a functional and user-friendly split-style outfit. The upper part is a hooded, long-sleeved, sleeveless shirt, while the lower part consists of boxer-style shorts. This design specifically targets key areas of the body that are most vulnerable to electromagnetic radiation. Additionally, adjustable closures on the collar, cuffs, and hem improve the shielding effect. All areas in direct contact with the skin use hypoallergenic materials to prevent any potential allergic reactions, especially for individuals sensitive to silver-based fabrics. Following successful joint development, the 3543 Company has completed the first batch of production for this cutting-edge protective gear. The product is expected to be deployed soon, significantly enhancing the safety and operational efficiency of early warning aircraft crews. China Labor Insurance Network
