ABSTRACT:
A ballistic shield (10) for mounting to an aircraft fuselage (14) is formed of lightweight, composite material and shaped to conform to the shape of the fuselage belly that when mounted creates a space (30) between the shield (10) and the belly (14) to enable energy-absorbing deflection of the shield (10). Compartments (36) formed in the shield midsection (24) receive removable inserts (44) that can be constructed of different ballistic-resistant materials to enable field modification of the shield (10) to meet a perceived threat level.
