<p>A reactive armour lay-up element (10) includes a first body or layer (12), a body or layer (14) of reactive material enveloping or covering at least partially the first body or layer (12), the reactive material being capable of producing a pressure wave when impacted by a projectile, and a second body or layer (16) enveloping or covering at least a portion of the body or layer (14) of reactive material. The second body or layer (16) is configured to break up into sub-millimetre particles only, after being exposed to a pressure wave caused by the reaction of the body or layer (14) of reactive material to impact by a projectile, such as a shaped charge jet.</p> |
