Armored vehicle capable of handling range of different attack kinetic energy projectiles and RSV radiation units and uses electromagnetic armoring comprising two connecting parallel plates with intermediate space

摘要

The armored vehicle is capable of handling a range of different kinetic energy projectile and RSV radiation units and uses electro-magnetic armoring comprising two conductive parallel plates (2,3) with an intermediate space (8). The front and inner plate are connected to a voltage source, e.g. a capacitor (8). When a projectile penetrates both plates, the electrical circuit (7) is closed. A high current (1) passes through the projectile and produces a magnetic-mechanical instability, which leads to a puckering (10) of the projectile.
