(57) A ballistic and/or blast protection material comprises at least first and second
ballistic composite panels (12a,12b,12a',12b') and disposed between each pair of adjacent
ballistic composite panels a respective core of a blast damping material (14,14').
The ballistic composite panels preferably each consist of filaments of glass fiber,
aramide, polyethylene or another high strength fiber said filaments either being disposed
generally parallel to one another in layers in a matrix of a thermoplastic or a thermosetting
plastic with the filaments of one layer crossing with the filaments in an adjacent
layer, or with the filaments forming a woven fabric and a plurality of layers of said
fabric being combined in a matrix of thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic.
Said ballistic panels (12a,12a',12b,12b') can be bolted together by bolts (20,22).
