Abstract
An armor module for protecting a surface against an explosively formed projectile (EFP) threat is provided. The armor module is configured for mounting on the surface and comprises at least one armor assembly having a hard layer disposed facing the threat and being configured to fragment the EFP, thus forming residuals of the original EFP threat; a unidirectional fiber layer disposed behind the hard layer; and a catcher layer behind the unidirectional fiber layer, the catcher layer being made of a material exhibiting a level of ballistic protection such that a layer of the material being of the same thickness as the unidirectional fiber layer absorbs at least 20% more energy than is the unidirectional fiber layer for the same threat.
