Abstract
A configuration for a light-weight composite armor comprises an outer layer of high content carbon steel; an inner laminate of multiple plies of ballistic grade fabric; and an intermediate core material interconnecting the outer steel to the fabric laminate in an established spaced relationship to defeat armor piercing projectiles from the outside while providing a reverse offensive threat from the inside.
