A flexible protection element for reactive protection against shaped charge warheads and kinetic energy projectiles comprises a formable doughy mixture of a powder dispersed within a matrix of plastic explosive and a binder.

Reactive armour

A ceramic armor tile for attaching internally behind a wall of a structure and for cooperation in conjunction therewith, such that the wall acts as an external protective layer of the armor.

Ceramic armor against kinetic threats

A reactive armor module for protecting a target from an incoming projectile, and comprising at least one armor cassette formed of a front base plate and a rear base plate sandwiching between them at least one layer of energetic material, the front base plate and the rear base plate being adapted, upon impact of the projectile with the energetic material, to be propelled in opposite directions; the armor module further comprising at least one non-energetic auxiliary plate spaced from the armor cassette and positioned essentially along the expected trajectory of either the front or the rear base plate, such that when propelled, the velocity of a base plate facing the auxiliary plate is reduced upon collision with the auxiliary plate.

Armor module

An armor module having a rigid casing having a front face, a top face and a bottom face, and a plurality of multi-layer planner cassettes fixedly mounted within the casing. Each cassette has a top base plate and a bottom base plate, sandwiching between them at least a one other layer. The top base plate of an uppermost cassette constitutes the top face of the casing, and a bottom base plate of a lowermost cassette constitutes the bottom face of the casing.

Ballistic protective element

An armor module comprising a rigid casing having a front face, a top face and a bottom face, and a plurality of multi-layer planner cassettes fixedly mounted within the casing. Each cassette has a top base plate and a bottom base plate, sandwiching between them at least a one other layer. The top base plate of an uppermost cassette constitutes the top face of the casing, and a bottom base plate of a lowermost cassette constitutes the bottom face of the casing.

A ballistic armor panel for attaching to an object, the panel comprising a carrying board made of a hard material and formed with a plurality of adjoining through-going apertures, each aperture receiving a body made of a hard material and having a longitudinal axis coaxial with an axis of the respective aperture.

Ballistic armor panel

A reactive armor element for protection against a shaped-charge warhead, comprising a casing fitted with an outer metal cover plate, and at least one explosive matrix extending between the metal plates. The explosive matrix comprises a substantially flat carrier plate formed with a plurality of compartments formed by adjoining divider ribs, with explosive material embedded between the ribs.

Explosive matrix for a reactive armor element

An add-on reactive armor element effective against normal and skew attack. The element is a multilayer composite body in which each layer tightly bears against each contiguous layer, which multilayer composite body includes an outer cover, at least one explosive layer, at least one intermediary inert body and a base plate. The intermediary layer or layers may be, for example, of aluminium, glass or ceramics.

Reactive armour effective against normal and skew attack

Reactive armor elements each holding at least one reactive assembly of the kind in which an explosive layer is sandwiched between two metal plates, which is paired with a passive assembly comprising a layer of swellable material sandwiched between two metal plates. In each such pair the reactive assembly is outermost.
