An armor plate (20) is provided for use in the ballistic protection of a structure against projectiles incoming from an expected threat direction. The armor plate comprises a layer of pellets (23) made of ballistic material; a gap (17A) having a contour at least partially defined by circumferential surfaces of those of the pellets (23) that are exposed to the gap (17A), and occupying an area corresponding to a plurality of the pellets (23); and an insert (I 1 -I 4 ) inserted within the gap (17A) and having an outer surface (30) at least a part of which has an outer shape mimicking the contour of the gap (17A). There is also provided a method for producing the armor plate (10) and an insert (I 1 -I 4 ) for use therein. |
