Abstract
Vehicle armor may include an assembly of components including an outer armor pack, an air gap, an inner armor pack, and a high energy absorbing layer. At least one version of the outer armor pack may include an outermost outer fiber reinforced composite protective layer of ≧1 mm thickness, an outer ceramic armor layer, and an inner fiber reinforced composite support layer to absorb residual energy from small arms. The air gap may be between 1-10 mm to allow for deflection of the outer armor pack. The inner armor pack may include an outer fiber reinforced composite protective layer of ≧0.5 mm thickness, an inner segmented ceramic armor layer, and an innermost inner fiber reinforced composite layer of ≧10 mm thickness. The high energy absorbing layer may have ≧25 mm thickness and be configured to mitigate the effect of residual fragments defeating the outer and inner armor packs.
