Abstract
A ballistic beam used in special purpose vehicle in which a core with kinetic energy absorbing strength is positioned inside, and the outer shell with shock absorbing property surrounds entirely the core. The core is made of steel or other alloys of iron, other metal, metal alloys, cermets, ceramics, or combinations thereof that are either treated or untreated. The outer shell can be made of fabrics and is made of glass fiber, carbon, aramid, polyamid, polyester, polyethelene or hybrids of these materials. Bullets or splinters can be stopped effectively and cannot penetrate inside the vehicle. It is also possible to achieve minimized weight of the ballistic grill.
Claims14
A ballistic grill for special purpose vehicles comprising:
- a plurality of parallel ballistic beams fixed onto a support in a spaced manner and at an angle so as to prevent penetration of bullets and splinters created from bullets striking the grill, wherein said ballistic beams have a kinetic energy absorbing core comprising at least one material selected from the group consisting of steel, alloys of iron, metals, metal alloys, cermets, ceramics, and an outer shell entirely surrounding said energy absorbing core, said outer shell comprising fabrics with fibers selected from the group consisting of glass, carbon, aramid, polyamide, polyester, and polyethylene.
A ballistic grill for special purpose vehicles comprising:
- a plurality of parallel ballistic beams fixed onto a support in a spaced manner and at an angle so as to prevent penetration of bullets and splinters created from bullets striking the grill, wherein said ballistic beams have a kinetic energy absorbing multi-sided core comprising at least one material selected from the group consisting of steel, alloys of iron, metals, metal alloys, cermets, ceramics, and an outer shell surrounding the sides of said energy absorbing core, said outer shell comprising fabrics with fibers selected from the group consisting of glass, carbon, aramid, polyamide, polyester, and polyethylene.
