Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to an armor system for protecting a vehicle from a projectile, the projectile having an expected trajectory and the vehicle having a hull. The armor system has a modular armor subsystem configured to be mounted exterior to the vehicle hull. The modular armor subsystem has a leading sheet-like layer, the layer including a low density material of a density less than metal, and leading relative to the expected projectile trajectory, and a first intermediate sheet-like layer, the layer including low density material of a density less than metal, located between the leading layer and the hull. The modular armor subsystem also has a second intermediate sheet-like layer, the layer located between the first intermediate sheet-like layer and the hull, and a dispersion area located between the first and the second intermediate sheet- like layers. The density of the low density leading layer material is less than the density of the first intermediate layer low density material, and the density of the second intermediate layer material is greater than the density of the first intermediate layer low density material.
