ABSTRACT:
A reactive armor structure is disclosed for protecting a vehicle. A housing ncloses a chamber attached to the vehicle. A reactive armor sandwich with two rigid plates is mounted transversely across the chamber. The reactive armor sandwich is designed so the explosion of an explosive layer in the reactive armor sandwich causes the rigid plates to rotate so as to strike the penetrator.
