ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a composite armor plate for absorbing and dissipating kinetic energy from high-velocity projectiles, the plate comprising a single internal layer of pellets which are bound and retained in plate form by an elastic material, substantially internally within the elastic material, such that the pellets are bound in a plurality of spaced-apart rows and columns, the pellets being made of a material selected from the group consisting of ceramic material glass and sintered refractory material, and the pellets being substantially fully embedded in the elastic material so that the pellets form an internal layer, characterized in that a majority of each of the pellets in direct contact with four diagonally-adjacent pellets in the same layer to provide mutual lateral confinement therebetween and is retained in spaced-apart relationship relative to pellets in the same row and pellets in the same column by the elastic material.
