This study demonstrates the functional advantages of reaction-sintered diamond-silicon carbide (D–SiC) ceramics for armor applications compared to conventional materials including silicon carbide, boron carbide, and alumina. The ballistic performance of reaction-sintered D–SiC ceramics was experimentally evaluated according to protection class Br4 using prototype armor panels with varying ceramic plate thicknesses (6…10 mm) mounted on ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) flexible backing (8…10 mm). Ballistic tests confirmed complete resistance to penetration in all tested panel configurations.
