Floor-cladding preventing missile ricochets - contains kinetic energy absorbing layer and additional layer of strips at right angles to top surface.

摘要

The cladding has a layer absorbing the kinetic energy. It contains a further layer (2), formed by strips (9 - 12) at right angles to the top surface. These can be spaced apart for a distance less than the missile length (1), and situated between two covering layers (7,8), and they can form a honeycomb structure. The energy-absorbent layer (3) can be glued to the adjacent covering one (8), there can be an outer layer (1) glued to the other covering one (7), typically consisting of a carpet. The absorbent layer can be of foam material. ADVANTAGE - Brakes missiles even on impact at a very small angle.
