The structure comprises a body having a protection portion with at least a single layer of ceramic bodies. The structure further comprises a carrier portion supporting the protection portion and being made of a material different from the ceramic bodies. The protection portion is designed to span the gap. The carrier portion is designed to extend beyond the gap to overlap with the margin when viewed from a perspective of the impacting projectile threat.
