A fabric including a first layer of high-performance unidirectional yarns and a second layer of high-performance unidirectional yarns disposed transversely to the first layer. The fabric also includes warp and fill encapsulating yarns woven around the unidirectional yarns to substantially stabilize the unidirectional yarns. The encapsulating yarns have tenacities and tensile moduli substantially less than the tenacities and tensile moduli of the unidirectional yarns. The fabric has a cover factor between approximately 0.75 and approximately 1.50.

We claim: 1. A woven fabric included in a panel for protecting against a ballistic threat, the fabric comprising: a first layer of high-performance unidirectional yarns; a second layer of high-performance unidirectional yarns disposed transversely to the first layer; warp and fill encapsulating yarns woven around the unidirectional yarns to substantially stabilize the unidirectional yarns, said encapsulating yarns having tenacities and tensile moduli substantially less than the tenacities and tensile moduli of the unidirectional yarns; and the fabric having a cover factor between approximately 0.75 and approximately 1.50 such that the yarns in the first and second layers, as included in the panel, are substantially crimp-free. 2. A single ply woven fabric included in a panel for protecting against a ballistic threat, the fabric comprising unidirectional ballistic resistant yarns in at least two layers in the single ply, the layers being at 90°±5° with respect to each other, the ballistic resistant yarns being substantially stabilized by being woven with encapsulating yarns having substantially lower tenacity and tensile modulus than the ballistic resistant yarns and the fabric having a cover factor between approximately 0.75 and approximately 1.50 such that the yarns in the first and second layers, as included in the panel, are substantially crimp-free. 3. A woven fabric according to claim 2 in which the cover factor is between approximately 0.75 and approximately 1.25. 4. A woven fabric according to claim 2 in which the ballistic yarn is a high performance ballistic resistant yarn. 5. A woven fabric according to claim 4 in which the high performance ballistic yarn comprises dense glass fibers. 6. A woven fabric according to claim 5 having a cover factor of approximately 0.89. 7. A woven composite material comprising multiple layers of the fabric of claim 5. 8. A composite material according to claim 7 comprising a thermoset resin impregnating the woven fabric. 9. A composite material according to claim 7 in which the encapsulating yarns have substantially deteriorated due to the process of forming the composite material. 10. A woven fabric according to claim 4 in which the high performance ballistic yarn comprises polymeric high performance yarn. 11. A woven fabric according to claim 10 in which the polymeric high performance yarns have a linear density between approximately 400 denier and approximately 3000 denier. 12. A woven fabric according to claim 10 having a cover factor between approximately 0.80 and approximately 1.05. 13. A composite material comprising multiple layers of the woven fabric of claim 10. 14. A woven fabric according to claim 4 in which the encapsulating yarns have a denier between approximately 20 and approximately 1000. 15. A woven fabric according to claim 4 in which the encapsulating yarns are selected from the group consisting of natural fibers and synthetic fibers. 16. A woven fabric according to claim 15 in which said synthetic fibers are elected from the group consisting of regenerated cellulose, rayon, polynosic rayon, cellulose esters, acrylics, modacrylics, polyamides, polyolefins, polyester, synthetic rubber, and saran. 17. A woven fabric according to claim 2 in which the ballistic resistant yarn has a tenacity of at least about 15 grams per denier and a tensile modulus of at least about 400 grams per denier. 18. A woven fabric according to claim 2 in which the ballistic resistant yarn is selected from the group consisting of glass yarn, polymeric high performance yarn, and basalt yarn. 19. A ballistic resistant fabric assembly comprising multiple layers of the woven fabric of claim 2. 20. A composite material comprising the ballistic resistant fabric of claim 2. 21. A method of forming a woven fabric included in a panel for protecting against a ballistic threat, comprising: (a) creating a single ply fabric comprising unidirectional dense glass ballistic resistant yarns in at least two layers in the single ply, the layers being at 90°±5° with respect to each other, the ballistic resistant yarns being substantially stabilized by being woven with encapsulating yarns having substantially lower tenacity and tensile modulus than the ballistic resistant yarns and the fabric having a cover factor between approximately 0.75 and approximately 1.25; (b) creating a ballistic resistant fabric assembly comprising multiple layers of the single ply fabric, wherein the yarns in the layers, as included in the panel, are substantially crimp-free; (c) immersing the ballistic resistant fabric assembly in a thermoset resin in liquid form; (d) permitting the encapsulating yarns to substantially deteriorate due to the process of forming the composite material; and (e) curing the thermoset resin. 22. A method of forming a woven fabric included in a panel for protecting against a ballistic threat, comprising: (a) creating a single ply fabric comprising unidirectional aramid ballistic resistant yarns in at least two layers in the single ply, the layers being at 90°±5° with respect to each other, the ballistic resistant yarns being substantially stabilized by being woven with encapsulating yams having substantially lower tenacity and tensile modulus than the ballistic resistant yarns and the fabric having a cover factor between approximately 0.80 and approximately 1.50; (b) creating a ballistic resistant fabric assembly comprising multiple layers of the single ply fabric, wherein the yarns in the layers, as included in the panel, are substantially crimp-free; (c) immersing the ballistic resistant fabric assembly in a liquid thermoset resin; and (d) curing the thermoset resin. 23. A woven fabric included in a panel for protecting against a ballistic threat, the fabric comprising: a first layer of high-performance unidirectional yarns; a second layer of high-performance unidirectional yarns disposed transversely to the first layer; warp and fill encapsulating yarns woven around the unidirectional yarns to substantially stabilize the unidirectional yarns, said encapsulating yarns having tenacities and tensile moduli substantially less than the tenacities and tensile moduli of the unidirectional yarns; and the fabric having a cover factor between approximately 0.40 and approximately 0.84 such that the yarns in the first and second layers, as included in the panel, are substantially crimp-free.
