The invention provides a composite armor plate (4) for absorbing and dissipating kinetic energy from high velocity, armor-piercing projectiles, as well as from soft-nosed projectiles, the plate comprising a single internal layer of high density ceramic pellets (6) characterized in that the pellets are arranged in a single layer of adjacent rows and columns, wherein a majority of each of the pellets (6') is in direct contact with at least four adjacent pellets (6") and each of the pellets are substantially cylindrical in shape with at least one convexly-curved end face, further characterized in that spaces formed between the adjacent cylindrical pellets are filled with a material (10) for preventing the flow of soft metal from impacting projectiles through the spaces, the pellets (6) and material (10) being bound and retained in plate form by a solidified material (8), wherein the solidified material (8) and the plate material are elastic.

L'invention concerne une plaque (4) de blindage composite destinée à absorber et à dissiper l'énergie cinétique de projectiles haute vitesse perce-blindage ainsi que de projectiles à pointe molle. Cette plaque comprend une couche interne unique de billes (6) de céramique haute densité, présentant les caractéristiques suivantes: les billes sont disposées de manière à former une couche unique composée de rangées et de colonnes adjacentes, une majorité de ces billes (6') sont en contact direct avec au moins quatre billes (6'') adjacentes et chaque bille est de forme sensiblement cylindrique et comprend au moins une face terminale présentant une courbure convexe. En outre, les espaces formés entre le billes cylindriques adjacentes sont remplis d'un matériau (10) empêchant le passage de métal mou provenant de projectiles dans ces espaces, les billes (6) et le matériau (10) sont fixés et maintenus dans la forme de la plaque par un matériau (8) solidifié, et le matériau (8) solidifié et le matériau de la plaque sont élastiques.
