Vehicle armour comprises an assembly of:—a) an outer armour pack (A) comprising:—i) an outermost outer fibre reinforced composite protective layer (1) of at least 1 mm thickness; ii) an outer ceramic armour layer (2) to protect against small arms and provide initial fragmentation of a penetrator; and iii) an inner fibre reinforced composite support layer (3) to absorb residual energy from small arms; the outermost outer fibre reinforced composite protective layer being configured to protect the outer ceramic armour layer against minor impacts; b) an air gap (B) of between 1 mm and 10 mm to allow for deflection of the outer armour pack; c) an inner armour pack (C) comprising; i) an outer fibre reinforced composite protective layer (5) of at least 0.5 mm thickness; ii) an inner segmented ceramic armour layer (6) configured to provide the majority of protection against a penetrator; iii) an innermost inner fibre reinforced composite layer (7) of at least 10 mm thickness; the outer fibre reinforced composite protective layer being configured to protect the inner segmented ceramic armour layer against damage during handling or maintenance of the armour d) a high energy absorbing layer (D) of at least 25 mm thickness configured to mitigate the effect of residual fragments defeating the outer and inner armour packs. the assembly being configured to be mounted in spaced relationship to the hull (11) of a vehicle. |
