Abstract
The paper reviews and evaluates the possibility of using polymer fibrous composites for lightweight passive bulletproof armors for application in special-purpose means of transport. The shielding properties of the composite ballistic plates manufactured based on fibers commonly used for such applications: aramid (Kevlar, Twaron) and polyethylene ones (Spectra, Dyneema) as well as ceramic-laminate systems built based on the both above-mentioned ones have been characterized. Examples of application of lightweight, polymer ballistic laminates in armors and supplementary armors of special-purpose transport vehicles, illustrated by aircraft constructions, have been presented in accordance with literature sources and manufacturers' information.
