AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional ballistic armor for optronic equipment is heavy and rigid, leading to issues such as increased actuator power requirements, vibration transmission, and potential deformation that can cause cracks and spalling, which can damage equipment and personnel.
Method used
A three-dimensional lattice structure with an auxetic property is used to absorb impact energy by distributing it laterally, combined with panels and additive manufacturing to create a lightweight yet rigid armor.
Benefits of technology
The solution effectively absorbs impact energy, reduces weight, and prevents crack propagation and spalling, while maintaining structural integrity and flexibility.
