Purpose: The purpose of the series of research is drawing up an alternative armour plate with the composite structure, which would be resistant to 7.62 and 5.56 caliber bullets fired from the weapons the Polish army is equipped with. Design/methodology/approach: The research embraced the composite materials with epoxy matrix reinforced with the fiberglass in the shape of mat or fabric, and steel mesh. Three sheets of epoxy-glass composite were made on which ceramic panels were glued. Findings: The result of the presented work is the assessment of the quality of examined samples. As a criterion was adopted the behaviour of the material under the shellfire, its defragmentation, puncture and destruction. Research limitations/implications: The research was limited to composite materials with the epoxy matrix and reinforcement of fiberglass in the form of mat or fabric. In the next stage of the research the application of aramid fibers reinforcement is planned. Practical implications: Practical implications Worked out the construction material systems make the basis for further analysis and optimization of materials applied as the alternative for heavy army vehicles. Such application enables the minimization of the weight of a vehicle. Originality/value: Paper presents innovative composites polymer materials applied for ballistic protection of lightweight armed vehicles.
