Reactive Structure and Smart Armor for Future Ground Vehicles

These technologies are used to protect ground vehicles from ballistic impact.

AReactive Structure Technology (RST) is a new class of smart structure that can react to external excitations (such as blast or ballistic impacts) in a carefully designed way using the energy pre-stored internally or from the external ...
