ECONOMICALLY ARMOR A MILITARY VEHICLE

摘要

A new method to economically armor a military vehicle enabling it to endure more developed, accurately directed and lethal piercing weapons, bombs and mines than what the best-armored vehicles can endure presently with a minimal increase in its weight (because of armoring). To armor the vehicle we use similar groups of cylinders that have a commo n center (The cylinders with bigger diameters placed outer to those with less diameters). We use three rows of similar groups of cylinders placed between four shee ts of metal. Both the sheets and cylinders are made of the hardest Manganizesteel alloy known with a thickness that depends on the diameter of the cylinders (Outer cylinders being thicker than inner ones). The maximum diameter of the outer cylinder in each of the inner rows should be half the diameter of the outer cylinder in the row outer to it. We armor the area between the engine and the rest of the vehicle, the rea r, the two sides, the floor and the sealing of the vehicle to insure the maximu m possible protection of the crew fired on by different kinds of weapons.
