The process of jet interaction with oblique highly passive armor was analyzed, and the relations on energy absorbed by the interlayer material of inert cassette were presented. The bulging armors with silicon rubber and plexiglass interlayer material interacted with shaped charge jets were studied experimentally. When the jet parameters is determined, the energy deposited in the interlayer during shaped charge jet penetration is related with not only its physical dimension, such as obliquity and thickness, but also with other physical parameters, such as material density, sound velocity and material strength, et al. the shaped charge jet penetrating capability decrease 75% and 65% respectively when passed through the silicon rubber and plexiglass composite armor, which shows that the silicon rubber cassette have better protection performance.
