Protective armor in which the core is an assemblage of tiles, preferably of ceramic material, arranged in edge-to-edge relationship in a checkerboard pattern, and a series of tapes, preferably of fiberglass fabric, interwoven in a zig-zag path longitudinally and transversely over and under the tiles in each row, the assembly being bonded together by a cured synthetic resin impregnated into the tapes. A novel method of interweaving the tapes and tiles is disclosed.

A protective armor comprising: an assemblage of approximately equal size, flat, relatively small tiles arranged in edge-to-edge relationship in a checkerboard pattern such that the tiles are situated in longitudinal and transverse rows, a series of first fabric tapes interwoven in a zig-zag path through each longitudinal row of tiles so as to pass over alternate tiles in the row and under the other tiles in the row, and a series of second fabric tapes interwoven in like fashion through each transverse row of tiles so as to cover each tile on the side opposite that covered by the first fabric tapes.
