Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009010808A1] The flexible web to confront rocket propelled grenades is compromised of at least one grid (1) upon which the incoming grenades collide. This grid (1) is created by crossed strings (2). On the points where the strings (2) cross, solid connectors (3) with cuts (6) are placed. The solid connectors sustain the strings (2) in place. During the impact of the grenade on the grid (1), mechanical deformation occurs on the front conical metallic ogive (muzzle) which neutralizes the ignition mechanism. As a result, the grenade does not ignite (explode) on impact with the target. The flexible web is placed on the outside of the static or mobile target we wish to protect, ensuring a stand off distance.
