Abstract

An armor system for protecting a vehicle from a projectile and employing the use of an insensitive reactive material as the primary means of disturbing the projectile is disclosed. The armor system includes a plurality of modules. Some modules may include a bag, wherein each module shares at least one seal with an adjacent module, and a material contained in the module and capable of being detonated. By manipulating the sensitivity of the reactive material, the Shockwave interaction with the chemical energy can be optimized for design packaging and defeating a threat. A transparent or opaque system provides multi-hit capability against chemical energy weapons or high velocity projectiles that maintains a narrow profile and provides a clear field of view. The reactive armor system requires no special energy source or detection system to provide protection from shaped-charge threats or RPGs thus minimizing any potential for failure as opposed to DAS.
