6.3.9 V50 ballistic limit protection, (V50BL(P)). The V50 ballistic limit
protection may be defined as the average of an equal number of highest partial
penetration velocities and the lowest complete penetration velocities which
occur within a specified velocity spread.
6.3.10 Witness plate. A thin sheet located behind and parallel to the ballistic
test sample which is used to detect penetrating projectiles or spall.

composite armor to MIL-A-46103 and wish to have their material tested, may do so
at their own expense. It is recommended that inquiries for testing be directed
to Commander, U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command, ATTN: AMSTE-TM-O, Aberdeen
