A ceramic plate is often added to the surface of the polymer composite backing in order to create a mechanism to destroy the projectile and spread the impact energy. In order to lessen the weight of the hard ceramic face plate and introduce additional energy dissipation and defeating mechanisms, a Gradient Design Composite (GDC) was developed; Ceramic spheres are embedded in a matrix to form a face component while the backing plate is composed of Spectra Shield composite.
