A key advantage of electric armour is its lighter weight. [3] Whereas ERA (explosive reacting armour) can add 10 to 20 tons of weight to a tank in explosives, electric armour could be effective with as little as a few tons of weight, [4] [5] [8] significantly reducing the load on the tank and allowing its weight capacity and engine power to be used elsewhere.
An exhibit of the "Future Soldier" designed by the United States ArmyA powered exoskeleton is a mobile machine wearable over all or part of the human body, providing ergonomic structural support, and powered by a system of electric motors, pneumatics, levers, hydraulics or a combination of cybernetic technologies, allowing for sufficient limb movement, and providing increased strength ...
The advanced Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armour on this T-90S is arranged in pairs of plates, giving the turret its prominent triangular profile.. An element of explosive reactive armour (ERA) is either made out of a sheet or slab of high explosive sandwiched between two metal plates, or multiple "banana shaped" rods filled with high explosive which are referred to as shaped charges.
According to the manufacturer, Kontakt-5 is the first type of reactive armor that effectively protects armored vehicles against tandem shaped charges. Total mass of Kontakt-5 reactive armor: 2.8 - 3.0 t, Protective effect (RHA equivalent): against APFSDS: 200 - 250 mm, against shaped charges (HEAT): 600 mm,
3. Increased energy efficiency and sustainability, including 46% reduction in mechanical energy consumption and 35% reduction in embodied carbon in the concrete used
Bioinspired armor also presents several applications in athletic equipment including helmets and other protective gear. The alligator gar fish has scales resistant to cuts and punctures. [5] Using 3D printing technology, various sized scales can be added to rubber pads providing these properties to regular clothing.
Ablative armor is armor which prevents damage through the process of ablation, the removal of material from the surface of an object by vaporization, chipping, or other erosive processes. In contemporary spacecraft, ablative plating is most frequently seen as an ablative heat shield for a vehicle that must enter atmosphere from orbit, such as ...
