Amphibious armor |
摘要 |
Buoyant armor for jacketed rounds includes an outer, laminate reinforced strike face having a hardness greater than 640 Brinell. The strike face is configured to strip the jacket off a projectile as it passes through the strike face and to rotate the projectile. An inner, laminate reinforced strike face is separated from the outer, laminate reinforced strike face by a spacer layer. Foam greater than 40 mm thick is disposed behind the inner strike face and is configured to disperse a round and/or its fragments and to provide buoyancy to the armor. |

1. Buoyant armor for jacketed rounds comprising: an outer, laminate reinforced strike face having a hardness greater than 640 Brinell and configured to strip the jacket of a projectile as it passes through the strike face and to rotate the projectile;
an inner, laminate reinforced strike face separated from the outer, laminate reinforced strike face by a spacer layer; and foam greater than 40 mm thick behind the inner strike face and configured to disperse a round and/or its fragments and to provide buoyancy to the armor; said foam including a thicker lower density layer sandwiched between two thinner structural foam layers; and the aggregate specific gravity of all said layers combined being less than one g/cm3. |
