Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention generally relates to energy absorbing / wasting systems useful for example in armor cassettes fitted for attaching on the outside of a structure or body liable to be exposed to attack by projectiles, e.g. shaped-charged warheads and kinetic energy projectiles. However, the system may be applied in other configuration comprising one or more moving plate members.

[0002] Bodies and structures protectable by armor models in accordance with the present invention are, for example, vehicles such as battle tanks, armored personal carriers, armored fighting vehicles, armored self-propelled guns; helicopters, maritime vessels, static structures such as buildings, above-ground portions of bunkers, containers of various nature, for the storage of fuel, chemicals, ammunitions, etc.

[0003] In particular, the present invention is concerned with an improvement for reactive armor cassettes for increasing kinetic energy absorbing on the one hand and, ...
