Abstract: This invention provides, in some aspects, for devices and methods for protecting a sensitive structure against explosive warhead containing weaponry, whereby a protective apparatus is positioned to be facing an anticipated impact direction at a spacing from said sensitive structure, wherein said apparatus absorbs the impact of said explosive warhead containing weaponry.
Abstract: A defensive shield for a ship has a support arm, pivotally mounted to a ship, and a shield pivotally mounted to one end of the support arm. The support arm is movable between a retracted position and a plurality of deployed defensive positions. In the deployed positions, the shield is outwardly spaced from the ship and angled to defend against attacks, such as aerial attacks and underwater attacks.
Abstract: A device for shielding floaters of an inflatable boat includes shielding plates for fastening in a juxtaposed arrangement to external faces of the floaters along their entire length and made of a light material which is resistant to the impacts of ordnance.
Abstract: Lightweight armor or high impact structures comprising lamina-like structures comprising zones of decreasing Young's modulus and increasing elongation characteristics. The structure contains at least one ionomer composite having aramid or linearly crystalline polyethylene fibers arranged to dissipate impact forces laterally.
