Reactive armor for a trooper - helmet vest and protective plate

Abstract

Reactive protective armors for diverting hitting bullets, shrapnel and small shells away from a trooper's helmet, vest and/or away from the skin of vehicles, planes, helicopters or marine vessels are described. The protective armor consists of multiplicity of reactive units, which cover the protected object like tiles. Each reactive unit includes tiny explosives on one side and parallel hinges opposite to the explosives. The hitting armament detonates the explosive, which in turn rotate the plate, thus diverting the bullet away from the protected object. Another embodiment of the reactive-protective unit is a pressurized cell full with noninflammable fluid or gel. In this case the protected object is covered with multiple pressurized cells. When a bullet or shrapnel punctures the skin of the cell the fluid or gel bursts and pushes the bullet away from the protected object. It is important to mention that the bullet activate only one unit, living the other units intact and ready to take other hits.
