Zusammenfassung:	An armor system with a lightweight armored panel manufactured as a multi-material structure having a multiple of layers including a hard ballistic material layer of a Ceramic/CMC (Ceramic Matrix Composite) hybrid armor material capable of defeating ballistic threats. The monolithic ceramic layer includes a surface enhancement to the expected projectile impact face of a minimal weight yet which provides significant ballistic performance improvement.
