Slat armor is lighter and as such can be added to many vehicles after construction but still adds both bulk and weight.

Slat armor can be fitted for maximum protection against RPG attacks.

So General Dynamics, the Stryker's manufacturer, built a protective grille, called slat armor, that is bolted onto the vehicle.

The article also states that the bolt-on slat armor is effective ballistic protection, which, at the time of the article, was the main flaw cited by critics.

It is cheaper and is 50-60% lighter than slat armor, allowing it to be integrated on light vehicles that cannot support slat, such as Humvees.

The IDF also developed a slat armor add-on to deflect RPG rounds.

When Chevy was blown from the Stryker hatch, he took flight for an incalculable measure of time before landing on the slat armor of his vehicle.

It is a domestic upgrade to the T-72M1 that features slat armor, spaced armor, and chains to provide 360 degree protection from RPGs.

The slat armor proved to be effective and life-saving; its developers and installers won the IDF's Ground Command award.

Although slat armor is effective against incoming missiles, it does not offer complete protection - as many as 50% of missile impacts are unimpeded by the slat design.

The unit cost to purchase the initial Stryker ICVs (without add-ons, including the slat armor) was US$3 million in April 2002.

In May 2009, General Dynamics and Rafael won a contract to provide SRAT tiles to replace slat armor on Strykers.

Slat armor is favored over traditional plate armor not only due to its effectiveness against shaped-charge warheads, but also due to its much lighter weight, which improves maneuverability.

Slat armor was first used on the Israeli IDF Caterpillar D9R armored bulldozer in 2005, but was installed in large numbers only in 2006.

The armour package is composed by chassis and turret bar armour.

Bar armour provides extra protection.

Explosive reactive armour (ERA) kits are also fitted as necessary along with additional bar armour.

Because it is lighter, it reduces power train stress and fuel consumption, while giving equal or greater protection than bar armor.

"L-Rod bar armor saves lives.

They argue that hunters who abandon lead and turn to harder bullets such as copper or tungsten could technically be in violation of federal regulations barring armor piercing ammunition.

Called QuickShield, the net is applied as a bandage for bar armor enabling armored vehicle crews to rapidly replace damaged bar/slat armor on military vehicles in the field.

Slat armor, also known as bar armor, cage armor and standoff armor, is a type of vehicle armor designed to protect against anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attacks.

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has contracted BAE Systems for its bar armor kits for integration with mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles to increase troop survivability.

Under the $42 million deal BAE will deliver its L-Rod bar armor kits for integration with the RG-31 and Cougar MRAP vehicles in a move to protect troops from rocket-propelled grenade attacks and other explosive threats.

Cage armour on back of turret to protect from RPG hits.

The CV90 can be also fitted with cage armour, which provides protection against tandem-charge and shaped charge warheads.

Modifications include more powerful 400HP Allison diesel engines, upgraded suspension, bolt-on steel armour plates, steel cage armour, and improved armament consisting of either a Cadillac-Gage 1 metre turret or a Nanuk Remotely Controlled Weapon Station.

If the nose probe strikes between one of the cage armor slats, the warhead will function as normal.

If ERA or cage armor is absent, this charge strikes the main armour.

Skirting should not be confused with cage armor which is used to damage the fusing system of RPG-7 projectiles.

Cage armor can also cause the projectile to pitch up or down on impact, lengthening the penetration path for the shaped charge's penetration stream.

Slat armor, also known as bar armor, cage armor and standoff armor, is a type of vehicle armor designed to protect against anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attacks.

The German Wehrmacht was the first employer of cage armor during World War II, using Drahtgeflecht-Schürzen (English: "wire mesh skirts") to fortify its tanks against shell fire.

The skirt or mesh armor (cage armor) triggers the RPG on contact and much of the molten jet that a shaped charge produces dissipates before coming into contact with the main armor of the vehicle.

Because the addition of cage armor would normally negate the camouflage properties of Nakidka, NII Stali offers special rubber side screens which would fit over cage armor and reduce the vehicle's visibility further.

The benefits of cage armor are still considered great in modern battlefields in the Middle East, and although similar effects can be obtained using spaced armor, either as a part of the original design or as appliqué armor fitted later, cage armor is preferable due to its low weight and ease of repair.
