Compositions based on ceramics

Composite ceramic armour

The armour from light ceramics and a composite based on high-strength materials intended for different branches of the armed forces, money collection service, special-purpose services, guards, etc.

It gives the protection by all levels of the Russian standard on protection (GOST R50744-95), as well as protects from armour-piercing bullets of calibre 12.7 mm and high-energy shell or bullet splinters.

High protective characteristics are obtained owing to the maximum advantageous combination of properties of ceramics and organoplastics: bullet energy is suppressed at the expense of high specific impact resistance of ceramics and also at the expense of sliding and tension of organoplastic reinforcing fibers.

composite panels with the surface density of 36-70 kg/m² to protect against small arms of different calibre;
composite ceramic armour elements for personnel armour vests (3^rd - 6^th levels of protection by GOST R50744-95) with curvature radius of 230-260 mm, 250x300 mm size and surface density ranging from 33 kg/m² (3rd level of protection) to 46 kg/m² (protection level 6A).

**Characteristics of the manufactured bullet-proof vests with composite ceramic armour elements**
Class of protection	Type of weapon	Protected area, dm²	Weight, kg
1	PM pistol	45	2,5
2	TT pistol	18*	5,5
3,4	AKM sub-machine gun	15*	7,7
5	Sniper's rifle with the LPS bullet	15*	9,0
6	Sniper's rifle with the ST-M2 bullet	15*	9,5

* protected area by first level protection equals 45 dm²

These protection characteristics are in agreement with the international standards.
