Sustainable Precision Green Manufacturing: Advanced Hybrid Reactive Armor Materials

Abstract

Prototype efforts to design, develop, evaluate, and prototype lightweight reactive armor systems using hybrid armor materials for vehicles that resist increasingly lethal threats, including simultaneous attacks from different weapons. Technology will provide prototype lightweight reactive armor systems using hybrid armor materials for vehicles that resist increasingly lethal threats, including simultaneous attacks from different weapons. Technologies include lightweight composites, ceramics, metal-ceramic compounds, nanomaterials, and more advanced reactive and active protection systems. This laboratory upgrades will provide ARDEC the enabling technologies to demonstrate and produce the technologies that are developed under this contract effort and support ongoing ARDEC efforts in the areas of energetics and warheads.
