The invention provides a composite armor material for absorbing and dissipating kinetic energy from high velocity, armor-piercing projectiles, comprising a panel consisting essentially of a single internal layer of high density ceramic pellets having an A1.sub.2 O.sub.3 content of at least 85% and a specific gravity of at least 2.5, said pellets being directly bound and retained in panel form by a solidified material which is elastic at a temperature below 250.degree. C., the majority of said pellets each having a major axis in the range of about 3-12 mm, and being bound by said solidified material in a plurality of superimposed rows, wherein a majority of each of said pellets is in contact with at least 4 adjacent pellets, and the total weight of said panel does not exceed 45 kg/m.sup.2.
