ABSTRACT:
A modular armor support employs parallel bars affixed to a substrate for porting modular armor panels a predetermined distance from the substrate. In one embodiment, the parallel bars are beams or rails affixed to the substrate and having abutment surfaces for supporting the modular armor panels with their edges in close abutment. The armor modules are affixed by bolts passing through holes in the armor modules and engaging threaded holes in bars extending between the beams or rails. In a further embodiment, the parallel bars are in the form of corrugated straps with lower portions bolted to bosses in the substrate and upper portions adjacent the modular armor panels. The lower and upper portions are connected by angled portions. Saddle clips embracing the upper portions have holes therein engageable by bolts passing through holes in the modular armor panels thus accommodating wide tolerances and permitting tightening the saddle clips upon the upper portions and thus affixing the modular armor panels to the corrugated strap.
