Abstract
A ballistic panel providing ballistic protection has a plate having an exterior facing surface and an interior facing surface. A plurality of protrusions extend from the exterior facing surface. The plurality of protrusions increase an amount of surface area to contact a projectile.
Claims19
A ballistic panel providing ballistic protection comprising:
- a plate having a rear surface, a front surface, and a central region;
- a first plurality of protrusions formed across the front surface of the plate;
- a second plurality of protrusions formed across the front surface of the plate;
- wherein the first plurality of protrusions formed on the front surface of the plate are angled in a first direction toward the central region of the plate;
- wherein the second plurality of protrusions formed on the front surface of the plate are angled in a second direction toward the central region of the plate;
- and
- wherein the central region of the plate comprises a first side wall and a second side wall wherein the first and second side walls are conjoined at an apex.
