Abstract:
1. A composite ballistic armor system comprising metallic matrix material and plural embedment elements embedded in the metallic matrix material, the metallic matrix material including a first metallic matrix material and a second metallic matrix material that differs from the first metallic matrix material, the metallic matrix material configured to include a first metallic matrix layer and a second metallic matrix layer adjacent to the first metallic matrix layer, the first metallic matrix layer constituted of the first metallic matrix material, the second metallic matrix layer constituted of the second metallic matrix material, each embedment element partially embedded in the first metallic matrix layer and partially embedded in the second metallic matrix layer, and the embedment elements non-contiguously spaced apart from each other to describe a coplanar array.
