Abstract
An arrangement for protection from attack by projectiles, especially from hollow-charge projectiles or the like, consisting of a wall which is constituted of explosives and is arranged obliquely relative to the firing direction below a wall facing towards the projectile and which is constituted from an inert material. A foil consisting of an explosive for the formation of a reactive sandwiched or composite armoring is equipped with a steel plate on one side thereof and with a glass plate or a glass fiber-reinforced plastic material plate on its other side, wherein the composite armorings form chambers within a box structure such that, within any one chamber, a steel plate is always located opposite a glass plate, and the collective foils of explosive are connected along their bottom sides with a transmission or transfer foil which is similarly constituted from an explosive.
