Chobham armor

Chobham armor is a type of composite armor used on military vehicles, designed to provide enhanced protection against various threats, such as gunfire and explosive projectiles. Developed in the 1960s in the UK, it combines multiple materials, including ceramic tiles, metals, and plastics, which work together to absorb and disperse the impact of attacks. This innovative layering system allows for a lighter design while maintaining strong defensive capabilities. Chobham armor is notably used on tanks, such as the British Challenger series, making them more resilient on the battlefield.
