Claims (13)

1. An armor assembly for trapping an incoming object, the assembly comprising: at least three substantially parallel layers, each layer comprising a two-dimensional array of packed elements, each having a circular cross section and being capable of swaying about at least one axis, the elements arranged so as to create cavities between adjacent elements in a layer wherein a front layer forms an impact layer and includes the largest packed elements, and wherein the packed elements in a layer that is behind a preceding layer are smaller in size compared to elements in the preceding layer, wherein the ratio between a radius of a packed element of the packed elements in a preceding layer and a radius of a packed element of the packed elements in the layer behind is a natural number, the cavities forming gradually narrowing spaces extending through the layers for trapping the incoming object.
2. The armor assembly as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the two-dimensional array of packed elements is arranged in a grid pattern.
3. The armor assembly as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the layers are separated by partitions.
4. The armor assembly as claimed in Claim 3, wherein the partitions are provided with rough surfaces.
5. The armor assembly as claimed in Claim 3, wherein partitions comprise two or more surfaces.
6. The armor assembly as claimed in Claim 5, wherein space is provided between surfaces of the partitions.
7. The armor assembly as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the packed elements comprise spherical elements.
8. The armor assembly as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the packed elements comprise ellipsoidal elements.
9. The armor assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the packed elements comprise elements of different shapes.
10. The armor assembly as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the packed elements are made of material selected from a group of materials consisting of: ceramics, steel, aluminum, titanium, and composite materials.
11. The armor assembly as claimed in Claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of each packed element comprise a smooth surface.
12. The armor assembly as claimed in Claim 1, wherein at least a portion of each packed element comprise a rough surface.
13. A method for protection against an incoming projectile, the method comprising: providing armor assembly comprising: ; at least three substantially parallel layers, each layer comprising a two-dimensional array of packed elements each having a circular cross section and being capable of swaying about at least one axis, the elements arranged so as to create cavities between adjacent elements in a layer wherein a front layer forms an impact layer and includes the largest packed elements, and wherein the packed elements in a layer that is behind a preceding layer are smaller in size compared to elements in the preceding layer, wherein the ratio between a radius of a packed element of the packed elements in a preceding layer and a radius of a packed element of the packed elements in the layer behind is essentially a natural number, the cavities forming gradually narrowing spaces extending through the layers for trapping the incoming projectile; and mounting the armor assembly on an object to be protected.
