ABSTRACT:
An armor for protection against large caliber projectiles has a ceramic layer with a confinement layer on a front thereof. The ceramic layer is backed by a first metallic layer and the first metallic layer in turn is backed by a composite layer. The composite layer is backed by a second metallic layer, which in turn is backed by an anti-trauma layer. The armor is used to protect personnel, but it can also be used to protect objectives such as vehicles.
