Abstract

See full text

The invention is the first modification of the Patent Application with number 1009231 and involves an additional system of three levels which reinforces and improves the dynamic armor of main battle tanks using compressed ferromagnetic powder and electromagnetically reinforced. The main characteristics of the first invention (DE-1009231) for the armor system of tanks and battle vehicles was the use of compressed powder from magnetized or non-magnetized ferromagnetic pulverized materials (Fe, Ni, Co) or other similar synthetic materials that enrich or enhance the desired mechanical properties and the effect of electromagnetic amplification between two solid passive armor plates. The first level (FIG. 1, 2) concerns the placement of high temperature silicone or other material of the same mechanical properties at a suitable thickness proportional to the threat, between the outer passive solid shielding plate and the compressed ferromagnetic powder. The second level (FIG. 1, 3) concerns the modification of the layer containing the ferromagnetic powder by the distribution of the ferromagnetic powder contained in pellets or cubes or rectangular parallelepipeds or other basic geometric volumes from polymeric material with viscous elasticity or other kinds of material with same mechanical properties of thin walls or alternatively its placement in a spatial network with cubic or conical or spherical partition volumes with thin walls made of polymeric material with viscoelasticity or other material with the same mechanical properties and then compress them between the plates of solid passive armor. The third level of reinforcement (FIGS. 1, 4) was achieved by placing a layer of explosive material on the visible side facing to the ferromagnetic powder of the inner passive solid shielding plate in combination with percussion, perforation and temperature sensors. The layer of the explosive may be in a single layer or be contained as based on the inside surface of each individual area of the spatial network or similarly to separate cubes or rectangular parallelepipeds.
