The space and mass effectiveness of explosive reactive armours (ERA) can be compared either with the penetration in a semi‐infinite target of RHA, or with an inert ERA, respectively with a spaced plate arrangement. The paper gives a clear information of the two different definitions which are demonstrated by tests performed with a large and a small shaped charge, respectively with a KE round from type APDS‐FS.
