A composite armor including a disrupting layer and a backing layer provides protection against blast and ballistic threats. The disrupting layer includes ceramic particles or tiles that disrupt the incoming projectile, while the backing layer prevents penetration past the armor by the disrupted projectile. The disrupting layer may include a layer of polygonal ceramic tiles with a deflecting front surface, encased by a retaining polymer, and may also include fire-retarding particles.

What is claimed is: 1. A composite armor comprising:a disruptive layer comprising a sheet of adjoining polygonal ceramic tiles encased by a retaining polymer, the ceramic tiles having a non-spherical deflecting front surface for redirecting a projectile, said deflecting front surface having at least one angle of inclination in the range of about 15 to 45 degrees relative to a plane formed by said sheet of adjoining ceramic tiles such that said deflecting front surface forms a point or edge on said deflecting front surface, wherein said deflecting front surface flares upward forming a thicker rim along outer edges of the polygonal ceramic tile; anda backing layer adjacent to the disruptive layer.
