3.1 Applique armor. Armor that can be easily installed or removed from a
weapon system in kit form without adversely affecting its structural integrity
or operation.

area, usually expressed in pounds per square foot (lb/ft2) or kilograms per
square meter (kg/m2) of surface area.

projectiles or fragments when inherent shielding is inadequate.
3.4 Armor system. A combination of various armor materials with
properties and geometry chosen to defeat one or more specific threat
projectiles.
3.5 Ballistic acceptance test. A test performed on lot representative
samples to determine whether or not the lot of armor is ballistically

3.6 Ballistic screening test. A test performed to determine the
performance level of an armor material relative to that of known standard
