Armor materials are critical in protecting the military vehicles, particularly the turrets of the armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) and infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs). With the advancements in the projectile technology, the need for more robust and reliable armor systems has become the paramount. This review paper evaluates the ballistic performance of various armor materials which includes the rolled homogeneous armor (RHA) steel, boron carbide as ceramics, carbon fiber reinforced polymer and Armox 560 T steel, both as single material and in a combined layer configuration. Additionally, it also examines the use of ANSYS explicit dynamics simulations in evaluating the effectiveness of combine materials under ballistic impacts. Using Ansys it allows us to simulate these impacts accurately without the high cost and time required for real-life testing. By studying the performance of these materials under ballistic impact, we aim to understand their strengths and weaknesses. This information helps in designing better armor that can offer improved protection for people and valuable items in dangerous situations.
