Research abstract
The AAAV requires lightweight armor that can be affordably produced. The Phase I effort successfully demonstrated various canidate systems that offered the potential for both weight and cost savings. The Phase II objective will be to qualify the lightestweight and lowest cost system for the AAAV. Processing techiques will be optimized to provide the lowest cost armor systems. The commercial potential of the material will be assessed. We anticipate that this new low cost/high performance armor will bereadily qualified and accepted in other commercial armor applications such as military spall liners, rigid shields, and body armor.
