ABSTRACT:
An antiballistic armor includes a core having a first surface, a second surface, and pockets extending into the core. The antiballistic armor further includes projectile impeding elements, wherein one of the projectile impeding elements is disposed within each of the pockets of the core. Further, the antiballistic armor includes a first face sheet joined to the first surface of the core and a second face sheet joined to the second surface of the core. A method includes producing pockets in a core that extend into the core, attaching projectile impeding elements within the pockets in the core, joining a first face sheet onto the first surface of the core, and joining a second face sheet onto a second surface of the core.
