An invention is reinforced soft and hard body armor utilizing a plurality of layers or plies of dissimilar ballistic material (32, 34) in combination with a reinforcing panel (40) positioned inwardly of the multiple plies of ballistic material with the reinforcing panel being constructed of a work hardenable material to reduce penetration of a projectile thereby reducing blunt trauma injury. The multiple plies of ballistic material include a unique arrangement of multiple plies of an aramid fiber available under the trademark "Kevlar" <R> or "TWARON" <R> (34) and multiple plies of a non-woven ballistic material available under the trademark "Spectra Shield" <R> (36) and the reinforcing panel (40) is a polycarbonate material such as available under the trademark "Lexan" <R>. |
