Armouring solution 3

Protective solution made with metallic and textile composite to cope with fragment projectile FSP (20 mm – 54g) at 1600 m/s (STANAG 4569 norm)

Several textile composite solutions have been made with several layers of 3D warp interlock fabric using para-aramid yarns.

The 3D warp interlock fabric architecture is:

3D warp interlock A – L 4-2-8 Binding {Diagonal 5-4 warp effect}{1 9 17- 2 10 18 – 3 11 19 – 4 12 20 – 5 13 21 – 6 14 22 – 7 15 23 – 8 16 24 – #}.

The cross section views of the textile composite solutions have revealed the delamination between 3D warp interlock fabric layers at different impact speeds up to 1600m/s.
