MEANS OF DISABLING TACTICAL ARMORED
VEHICLES
Philadelphia, PA
SUMMARY
Rather than having
to rely on heavy delivery systems with sufficient throwing power
to penetrate modern armor plate such vehicles can be rendered
deaf, dumb and blind by blanketing a portion of such vehicles
with a rigid polymeric foam with dispersed metallic flakes. Such
blanketed tactical vehicles would be ineffectual as a threat,
and would have to be abandoned by their crew. In response to the
development of modern armored plate the throwing weight required
to penetrate tactical armored vehicles has increased roughly in
proportion to the effectiveness of advanced armor plate. In consequence
of this requirement for higher throwing weights delivery systems
can now exceed the maximum weight allowances for personal infantry
weapons, rendering most personal anti-armor weapons largely ineffectual.
Equally important, rather than relying on defensive measures out
of the field commander's direct control, such as aerial weapon
platforms against threatening tactical vehicles, the field commander
can maintain effective control of the defensive capabilities of
his forces.
