Multi-panel ballistic resistant articles formed from woven and/or non-woven fibrous panels, each panel including varying quantities of a polymeric composition based on the total weight of the fibers and the polymeric composition. The hybrid structures provide excellent ballistic penetration resistance while maintaining a low weight. The ballistic resistant articles may be strategically positioned to dial in different levels of desired ballistic resistance for various applications. La présente invention concerne des articles résistants aux balles à panneaux multiples formés à partir de panneaux en fibres, chaque panneau comprenant des quantités variées d'une composition polymérique basées sur le poids total des fibres et de la composition polymérique. Les structures hybrides assurent une excellente résistance à la pénétration de balles tout en maintenant un faible poids. Les articles résistants aux balles peuvent être positionnés stratégiquement pour former un plateau à différents niveaux de résistance aux balles souhaités pour diverses applications.
