<p>A composite armor plate for absorbing and dissipating kinetic energy from high velocity projectiles including an internal layer of pellets, which are bound and retained in plate form by a solidified material such that the pellets are in a plurality of adjacent rows. The pellets have a specific gravity of at least 2 and are made from glass, sintered refractory material or ceramic material. The majority of the pellets have at least one axis of at least 3 mm length and are bound such that a majority of the pellets is in contact with six adjacent pellets in the same layer to provide mutual lateral confinement therebetween. The pellets have a substantially regular geometric form, wherein the solidified material and the plate are elastic. A channel is provided in a plurality of the pellets, substantially opposite to an outer impact-receiving major surface of the plate, thereby reducing the weight of the pellets.</p> |
