New lightweight armor systems are being used by the Navy to provide extensive armor protection for its highspeed, highly maneuverable riverine craft. Selection of materials is done through a basic armor system design computer program by which the craft performance characteristics are systematically inputed as a time history spectrum, combined with a description of the designated critical areas, allowable damage, and shielding effects of the vehicle to be armored as well as a description of the weapons which it will encounter
