Summary: | An armor system for protecting a vehicle from a projectile, the projectile having an expected trajectory, is disclosed. The armor system has a material capable of being detonated and configured to substantially retain a shape, wherein the material leads a vehicle exterior surface relative to the expected projectile trajectory. The material has a dimensional thickness that is greater than a minimum detonation thickness of the material.
L'invention porte sur un système de blindage pour protéger un véhicule d'un projectile, le projectile ayant une trajectoire attendue. Le système de blindage a un matériau susceptible d'être déclenché et configuré pour conserver sensiblement une forme, le matériau conduisant une surface extérieure du véhicule par rapport à la trajectoire de projectile prévue. Le matériau a une épaisseur qui est de dimension supérieure à une épaisseur minimale de détonation de la matière. |
