Abstract (en)
The invention provides a composite armor material for absorbing and dissipating kinetic energy from high velocity, armor-piercing projectiles, comprising a panel consisting essentially of a single internal layer of high density ceramic pellets having an Al203 content of at least 85% and a specific gravity of at least 2.5, said pellets being directly bound and retained in panel form by a solidified material which is elastic at a temperature below 250 DEG C, the majority of said pellets each having a major axis in the range of about 3-12 mm, and being bound by said solidified material in a plurality of superposed rows, wherein a majority of each of said pellets is in contact with at least 4 adjacent pellets, and the total weight of said panel does not exceed 45 kg/m<2>. <IMAGE>
