  • Gradient ballistic material and honeycomb grille
    Patent number: 9429395
    Abstract: The invention is a gradient ballistic material and honeycomb grille that includes a louver system and a honeycomb structure. The louver system contains a gradient of ballistic materials to improve air handling and protection. The louver system may be constructed of one or more pieces of ballistic material so that at least one section is harder than a second section. The honeycomb structure acts a “catcher” or backstop to collect the fragments created by a projectiles contact with the harder section of the louver system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 10, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 30, 2016
    Assignee: BAE Systems Land & Armaments, L.P.

  • Optimized bent bar grille
    Patent number: 9194665
    Abstract: An optimized grille design that narrows the louver pitch and narrows the louver construction so as to maintain the air flow through the grille. An aerodynamic shape is applied to the leading edge of the louver thus lowering drag and reducing the pressure drop at the inlet.
