Ballistic protection efficiency of composite ceramics/metal armours
Zoran Odanoviæ Biljana Bobiæ
Some theoretical aspects of ballistic protection testings of composite armours concerning test methods and criteria of armour efficiency estimation, have been considered. The experimental results of performed ballistic tests of the composite ceramics/metal armours, depending on composite armour type, bullet type and target (composite armour) distance have been presented. The corresponding analysis of test results, concerning ballistic protection effects and ballistic efficiency of the composite armours, have been also given. The composite armours are composed of Al2O3 ceramic plates (facing side) adhered to aluminium alloy or armour steel (backing side).
Key words: ballistic protection, protection level, composite armour, ceramics, aluminium alloy, armour steel, armour efficiency.
