Laminated structures are disclosed for antiballistic applications or other high-modulus, high-strength composite applications. One embodiment includes a first array having first, non-plain-woven fibers in a substantially A-B orientation. Further, the embodiment includes a second array having second, non-plain-woven fibers also in a substantially A-B orientation. Further still, the laminate structure includes a securing material for adjoining the first array and the second array so that the laminate structure has a substantially A-B/A-B orientation. In other embodiments, the laminate structure may optionally include additional, non-plain woven arrays, wherein each array's constituent fibers are in a substantially A-B orientation, and adjoined with the security material and in a manner to continue the overall A-B repeated orientation. Finally, the laminate structure optionally and externally includes a water-repellant coating.
