A protective layer against shaped charges

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The rupture disks of reactive armor that may be provided are initiated or light armor is destroyed directly when bomblets with frontal hollow charges are dropped onto vehicles. Previously known disrupting elements that prevent a shaped-charge jet from forming are mostly composed of pointed parts protruding from the surface of the vehicle or layers which are covered by a sensitive film. The disadvantages associated with said disrupting elements can be overcome in an economic manner by using a single protective layer (1) which consists of a high-density elastomer, is placed as a protective roof cover in the vertical projection of a vehicle (100) and can be retrofitted onto , existing …
