Abstract: The invention concerns a panel for protection against projectiles, splinter, etc. The panel is primarily arranged to supplement the outer shell of a vehicle such that the overall protection against such projectiles is considerably increased without the weight of the vehicle or the like being increased in any essential aspect. The panel includes a two digit number of layers of woven fibers, made from yarns of aramid or corresponding material. The layers are put on top of each other in the direction of incidence of a projectile etc. against the panel.
