CRISAT, short for Collaborative Research Into Small Arms Technology, is the EU-NATO standard in the manufacture of military equipment.[1] The CRISAT Target is defined as a 1.6mm titanium plate supplemented by 20 layers of Kevlar.[1] This target is intended to replicate the personal protection used by former Warsaw Pact countries, and it is still used as a reference.[1]
