Abstract: A rollable armor panel, and a rollable ballistic shield that includes the rollable armor panel is described. The rollable armor panel includes an adhesive-coated first ballistic fabric, a plurality of ballistic tiles arranged on and attached to one side of the first ballistic fabric, and a lattice arrangement of adhesive-coated ballistic fabric attached to the ballistic tiles and located opposite to the one side, the lattice having openings over the ballistic tiles, the armor panel being flexible enough to permit rolling of the armor panel into a rolled state. In order to facilitate rolling, the fabric lattice on the rear side of the imbricated array of wrapped ceramic tiles permits lifting of one side of a tile relative to another along the rolling direction. Further, the fabric-encapsulated wrapped imbricated ceramic is attached to a ballistic fabric backer in such a way that layers can slide over each other during rolling and unrolling.

Abstract: A rollable ballistic shield that has a carrier having a strike face and a rear face opposite the strike face, a flexible ballistic panel inside the carrier facing the rear face, the flexible ballistic panel being comprised of a plurality of sheets ballistic fabric; and a resilient panel inside the carrier and facing the strike face, the resilient panel being a body that is rollable but returns to its unrolled shape when permitted to unroll.

Abstract: A tile to be used in an arrangement of identical tiles of an armor, the tile including an obverse face, a reverse face opposite the obverse face, and an endless edge between the obverse face and the reverse face, the endless edge being defined by a plurality of peripheral boundaries connected by curved sections, wherein the obverse face includes a first region and a second region each configured to be overlapped by a corresponding region of a reverse face of another tile, and a strike face region that is not overlapped by another tile, the first region and the second region being adjacent to the non-overlapped strike face region, the strike face region including a Y-shaped raised portion and no other raised portion or recessed portion, and the reverse face including a Y-shaped depression at a location corresponding to the location of the Y-shaped raised portion, and no other depression or raised portion.
