S-2 Glass armor well-suited as a weight and spaceefficient backing for ceramic faced armor systems where multi-hit capability is critical.Moreover, the ability to design applications withthinner walls permits the use of less S-2 Glass S-2 Glass systems stand up to the threat of direct small arms fire and they also meet the protection needs against the shrapnel and fragments created by exploding mines, grenades and other blast-induced threats. fiber to do the same job as othermaterials. It can also help reducethe weight, as well as the cost of the protection system. That economic advantage...
