  • Armor system with multi-hit capacity and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 9919492
    Abstract: An armor panel is formed of a central layer of ballistic tiles, a support plate and a layer of high strength fiber weave. An outer layer of fiber weave formed of two plies of high strength fiber is wrapped around central layer, support plate and layer of high strength fiber weave. An inner layer of fiber weave formed of two plies of high strength fiber is wrapped around central layer. Armor panel is formed by molding.
    Type: Grant

  • Lightweight blast mitigating composite panel
    Patent number: 8777161
    Abstract: Lightweight blast mitigating composite panels (10) include a first glass composite shell (14; 152), an intermediate, preferably honeycomb layer (56; 156), a reinforcing layer (60; 160), an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fiber (UHMWPE) layer (64; 164) and a second glass composite shell (15; 168) adhered together with fire resistant adhesive layers (54; 58, 63, 66; 154, 158, 163, 166). The UHMWPE layer (64; 164) includes top and bottom coatings (70, 71) of fire resistant thermoset plastic preferably in the form of a paste. The panels (10) have use in a wide range of applications including in a blast mitigating overhead storage bin (100). The storage bin (100) includes a main body portion (133) defining a storage area formed from composite unarmored and armored panel segments (137, 138; 128-132).
