Hull: The outermost layer of the hull is a 100 cm layer of ablative foarm. This is followed by 50 cm layer of armor quality polyethylene. Next is 75 cm of foam steel alloy, reinforced with embedded carbide whiskers, and a ceramic matrix, also reinforced with embedded carbide whiskers, in 5 sandwiched layers . This is backed with a 150 cm layer of foam titanium alloy reinforced with embedded carbide whiskers. The innermost layer is a spalling shield made up of 10 1 cm sheets of 2-D weave boron filament, bioweave, and polyethylene fiber. The combined elements have a total Specific Strength* (MPa-cm3/g) of 4500 (30 times that of RHA steel armor).
