BALLISTIC TESTING OF ORGANIC CERAMIC PANELS BASED ON "IDEAL" CERAMICS
The development of new composite bullet - resistant structures with a record low surface density based on diamond - containing silicon carbide ceramics «Ideal» has been carried out. A method has been developed for testing promising samples of armored structures using a metal frame that limits the free side surfaces of ceramic tiles. The advantage of this method lies in the use of a minimum amount of ceramics while maintaining the protective properties of the armor structure sample. The developed structures have a record low surface density. This value for samples conforming to the protection class Br5 is 30,2 kg/ m2, and for those conforming to the class Br6 - 63,48 kg/m2.
