Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2014023309A1] Future fighting vehicles will require lighter, stronger and more space efficient armor for better protection, better survivability and better mobility. The invented lightweight armor component consists of armor-grade material (2), such as ceramic, encapsulated in fiber reinforced cementitious composite (FRCC) (1). The encapsulation FRCC pre-stress the armor-grade material. The resulting armor component of the present disclosure provides excellent ballistic protection against most types and sizes of Kinetic Energy (KE) threats and Chemical Energy (CE) threats. The armor component has low areal density, reduced damage area, improved multi-hit capability, flexible design and also provides high structural strength. It furthermore has the advantage, that it can be formed in virtually any shape. The present disclosure results in superior ballistic characteristics of an armor component. An object of the present disclosure is to increase penetration resistance of especially ceramic based armor, while lowering system weight.
