armor technology

Armor technology involves materials and design techniques that protect against damage or penetration. It uses layered materials like steel, ceramics, and composites to absorb and disperse impact energy. Modern armor often incorporates advanced materials that are lightweight yet strong, such as Kevlar or ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. Technologies include reactive armor (which counteracts explosive effects), and flexible armor for mobility. The goal is to maximize protection while minimizing weight and volume, balancing durability with practicality for vehicles, personal gear, or structures, ensuring safety in various defense and security applications.
