Measurable Insights. Reliable Diagnostics.
At Sydor Technologies, our ballistic gel testing instrumentation empowers researchers, defense materials developers, and forensic professionals the tools they need to extract meaningful data from ballistic gelatin testing. Our precision systems provide accurate simulation, measurement, and analysis of projectile behavior in soft-tissue analogs for actionable insight when lives depend on performance.
Bridging Ballistics and Biofidelity
Ballistic gelatin is the trusted medium for evaluating terminal ballistics. Our systems translate field-relevant scenarios into controlled, data-rich tests with the high-performance instrumentation and integrated support required to assess projectile velocity, energy transfer, and impact dynamics within calibrated gel blocks.
