PURPOSE: An armor panel is provided which is particularly effective in arresting a plurality of projectiles impacting upon the same general area of the panel. CONSTITUTION: A composite armor for absorbing and dissipating kinetic energy from high velocity projectiles, comprises a panel provided with a layer of a plurality of high density alumina ceramic bodies, each of the bodies being substantially cylindrical in shape, with at least one convexly curved end face, and each of the bodies having a major axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of its respective curved end face, wherein the ratio D/R between the diameter D of each of the cylindrical bodies and the radius R of curvature of the respectively convexly curved end face of each of the bodies is at least 0.64: 1, and wherein the bodies are arranged in a plurality of adjacent rows and columns, the major axis of the bodies being in substantially parallel orientation with each other and substantially perpendicular to an adjacent surface of the panel.
