Abstract
A method and apparatus for defeating high velocity fragmentation and/or shrapnel projectiles. A plurality of discs in an imbricated pattern are backed by alternating layers of high tensile strength ballistic material. The alternating nature of the layout of these ballistic materials combined with the discs tends to deform and turn striking fragmentation projectiles. Deformation of the fragments causes them to be easier to slow and stop. Turning the fragments allows a greater area of the armor material to engage the fragments.
