The paper presents the results of research on the creation of discrete-reinforced composite armor (DAC) by explosion welding. The advantages of new-generation composite armor and comparative data with the best analogues of domestic bullet-proof vests and armor panels are presented. Based on the results of ballistic tests, it was found that the DAC armor corresponds to the level of protection for class 5, i.e. it is not penetrated by bullets of increased hardness. It is shown that even after multiple bullet hits, the DAC armor retains its integrity and strength.
