With the changes of modern warfare modes and the development of missiles and weapons, the battlefield survivability of military vehicles is facing severe challenges. Vehicles must have high protection performance and better mobility. However, both of them are contradictory each other. The advanced resin-based composites has excellent mechanical properties and strong designability, and is one of the main technical means to solve the above problems, but it also encounters a bottleneck. In view of these situations, this paper summarizes the development of advanced composites in recent years, and discusses in detail the protection mechanism of advanced composite materials, material selection and manufacturing processes, and the latest developments and future application trends of advanced composite materials for armor protection systems.
