Abstract
According to an embodiment, a ballistic protection material includes a strike face layer having a first thickness. The strike face layer is configured to distort an outer surface on a projectile that contacts the strike face layer. A ballistic layer is configured to hinder continued movement of a projectile that has passed through the strike face layer. A spacer layer is situated between the strike face layer and the ballistic layer. The spacer layer has a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness. The second thickness of the spacer layer provides a selected distance between the strike face layer and the ballistic layer.
