Abstract
Metallic armor is the most mature class of armor materials and is still widely used for ballistic protection today.
Although the materials for metallic armor are highly developed, new and innovative metallic armor systems are being
used to improve the ballistic protection (while reducing the weight) of various weapon systems. Historically, most
metallic armor evolved from designing materials to meet structural or other requirements rather than from designing
specifically for ballistic protection. This design paradigm is changing; partly to meet the requirements for armed forces
transformation to a lighter, more survivable and efficient force [1]. Metallic armor systems are now being designed to
optimize mass, space and cost efficiency.
