Abstract

The nature of damage likely to occur to an add-on armour module due to the impact of incoming projectile is described observations are based on a series of ballistic trials at zero and oblique striking angles. Simple repair techniques have been suggested for restoring ballistic worth of the damaged composite armour on the battle tank.
