Flexible protective armor is made from a stack of flexible panels selected from four groups of panels. Each of the panels in the first group of the stack is a single sheet of woven material of high tensile strength. Each of the panels in the second group includes two or more layers of woven material of high tensile strength, and which have been bonded together. Each of the panels in the second group is separated by a layer of plastic film. Each of the panels in the third group is a single layer of tightly woven frangible material. Each of the panels in the fourth group is a layer of tightly woven material of high tensile strength which has been impregnated on one side with a flexible plastic adhesive. Adjacent surfaces of the panels in the stack are substantially unbonded. The edges of the stack are sealed to limit the escape of air from the stack when struck with a projectile. |
