Abstract

Abstract: With higher requirements of ballistic performance put forward by the new generation of armored vehicles, the development of new armored materials at home and abroad has made great progress. In this paper, the development status of composite ballistic armor used in armored vehicles at home and abroad is reviewed, the future development demand of composite ballistic armor used in armored vehicles is summarized, and the application prospect of new materials such as gradient functional materials, micro-laminated materials, graphene modified ceramics in armored vehicles is prospected. In order to meet the independent development needs of armored vehicles in China, it is urgent to develop new advanced lightweight protective materials with excellent performance. Only by developing new armor materials can we improve the survivability of our armored vehicles, meet the operational requirements of our weapons and equipment, and realize the synchronous development with advanced armor protection technology in the world.
