Passive armour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Passive armour is a modern military term which describes shielding that is chemically inert (unlike reactive armour) and does not require electricity or active sensors to operate. Any vehicle with a skin designed to protect it from attack is considered to have passive armor.
It is usually made of metal, ceramic, or in some cases, composite materials.
