Abstract
An armor system or plate designed to reduce the extent of back face deformation by re-directing the pressure wave created by a projectile impact. More specifically, armor systems according to embodiments of the invention are provided with redirection channels whereby the pressure or shock waves generated by projectile impact are guided or spread laterally along the channels and out of the plate so as to reduce back face deformation and consequent impact to the wearer.
