Abstract
A multi-layer armor plate comprises a strike plate, a structural mesh layer, an outer skin, a compliant mesh layer, and an inner skin layer. The strike plate has an outer surface and an inner surface. The structural mesh layer is positioned on the outer surface of the strike plate and includes lattice structure with a first structural compliance. The outer skin layer is positioned over the structural mesh layer. The compliant mesh layer is positioned on the inner surface and includes lattice structure with a second structural compliance that is greater than the first structural compliance. The inner skin layer is positioned over the compliant mesh layer.
