Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention relates to ballistic armor. Another embodiment of the present invention relates to a method of making ballistic armor. In one example, the ballistic armor may be for use with a vehicle (e.g., an automobile or a military 'tactical' vehicle). For the purposes of describing and claiming the present invention, the term 'strike face' is intended to refer to the material which faces the impacting projectile and the term 'back face' is intended to refer to the material behind the strike face material. Thus, the impacting projectile first strikes the 'strike face' material and then (to the extent that the impacting projectile penetrates the armor) the 'back face' material.
