Electric Armour
High-voltage discharge that disrupts shaped-charge jets before penetration
Electric armour uses high-voltage discharge to disrupt shaped-charge jets before they penetrate armour, improving protection for warships and armoured fighting vehicles. Prototypes exist; development continues. Applications include naval and ground vehicle protection against antitank weapons. Research continues into system integration, power requirements, and effectiveness.
