ABSTRACT:
Armor element for protection against projectiles, formed by a core made of ceramic material covered with a metal envelope obtained by casting around the core a resilient alloy having high antiballistic efficiency.
The envelope is strongly prestressed at casting around the ceramic core in order to inhibit the fragmentation thereof under shock due to the impact of a projectile.
The invention can be applied to constructing flexible armor implements by assembling and hingedly interconnecting juxtaposed armor elements.
