Rpg defeat method and system

Abstract

An armor module including a flexible, spacing structure configured to prevent detonation of an RPG striking the structure. Hard points are attached to the flexible spacing structure in a spaced relationship to each other to engage an RPG striking the structure and spaced via the flexible spacing structure from a vehicle or other target sufficiently to dud the RPG before the RPG strikes the vehicle or other target.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An armor module comprising:
 a flexible, spacing structure configured to prevent detonation of an RPG striking the structure; and   hard points attached to the flexible spacing structure in a spaced relationship to each other to engage an RPG striking the structure and spaced via the flexible spacing structure from a vehicle or other target sufficiently to dud the RPG before the RPG strikes the vehicle or other target.   
     
     
         2 . The shield of claim of  claim 1  in which said hard points are multi-sided with sharp corners. 
     
     
         3 . The shield of  claim 2  in which there are six sides and six sharp corners. 
     
     
         4 . The shield of  claim 1  in which the flexible, spacing structure includes a net. 
     
     
         5 . The shield of  claim 4  in which said hard points include slots therein for the net. 
     
     
         6 . The shield of  claim 4  further including a frame for the net spacing, the net and hard points for the vehicle or other target. 
     
     
         7 . The shield of  claim 1  in which said frame includes a releasable fastener subsystem and said net includes a border portion with a releasable fastener subsystem thereon for releasably securing the flexible net to the frame. 
     
     
         8 . The shield of  claim 4  in which the net has a mesh size of between 110 and 180 mm. 
     
     
         9 . The shield of  claim 1  in which each hard point weighs between 10 and 40 grams. 
     
     
         10 . The shield of  claim 1  in which each hard point is between ½ to 1 inches tall. 
     
     
         11 . The shield of  claim 1  in which each hard point is ½ inch to ¾ inches across.
