Composite passive armor protection

Abstract

A composite passive armor protection having geometric solids embedded in a matrix, characterized in that it consists of the parallel non-adjacent plates ( 1,2 ), wherein the upper plate ( 2 ) has grooves ( 3 ), in which are resting the geometric solids ( 4 ) embedded in a light alloy matrix ( 5 ), preferably to a level above one half of their total height, while the space between the parallel plates is a layer of light alloy ( 6 )

1 . A composite passive armor protection having geometric solids embedded in a matrix, characterized in that it consists of the parallel non-adjacent plates  1  and  2 , wherein the upper plate  2  has grooves  3 , in which are resting the geometric solids  4  embedded in a light alloy matrix  5 , preferably to a level above one half of their total height, while the space between the parallel plates is a layer of light alloy  6 . 
     
     
         2 . The composite passive armor protection of  claim 1 , wherein the axes of the grooves  3  in the upper plate  1  coincide with the axes of the geometric solids  4  resting in these grooves. 
     
     
         3 . The composite passive armor protection of  claim 1 , wherein said geometric solids  4  are ceramic solids or metallic solids. 
     
     
         4 . The composite passive armor protection of  claim 1 , wherein said geometric solids  4  are in the shape of spheres or truncated pyramids with a square base.
