GlasArmor panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer
(FRP) composites provide excellent ballistic stopping
power for the MPS while meeting the requirement of
being lightweight and portable.
They are constructed
from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber reinforcements
combined with a proprietary resin system in a
continuous pultrusion manufacturing process.
The
composite material is 25% the weight of comparable
steel structures, and also weighs significantly less than
concrete, making them easily deployable in the field.
