New Aluminum Slat Armor...

http://www.defense-update.com/newsca...LORD_armor.htm

BAE Systems developed a lightweight, modular bar-armor system designed to protect armored vehicles from attack by RPGs. The new armor was developed in response to increased threats from rocket-propelled grenades in Iraq and Afghanistan. The armor is constructed as a kit composed of an aluminum alloy that provides 'statistical protection' against RPGs without compromising the operational capabilities of the vehicle.
