Abstract
An armored panel construction for a shelter to defeat ballistic fragment and thermal radiation threats comprises an inner structural panel of aluminum alloy sheets bonded to a honeycomb core and an outer face panel of an aramid fiber fabric in a multi-ply resin matrix laminate. The face panel is in a specific spaced relationship to the inner structural panel such that the energy of an impacting projectile is distributed over a large area and the face panel is allowed to flex inwardly in the absorption of such energy.
