No. The stuff was tested by the Army and determined to be inferior to the current issue armor.

The military is using grade 4 armor and Dragon Scale is grade 3 (SWAT) armor. Not only does grade 4 armor stop bullets, but it seems to stop RPGs as well (one guy was hit square with an RPG which blew off his arms and legs, but he lived).
