Abstract
A sabothaving a rearward end and a central longitudinal channelwhich is engageable with projectilehas an anisotropic compressive strength distribution such that on individual radial planes the compressive strength in a first principal material direction Pradiates from the central channeltowards the rearward end of the sabot. This permits a more even distribution of force at the interface between the sabot and the penetrator. The sabot may be constructed from a fibre reinforced plastic composite, containing a single or a double array of fibres.
