In this paper, the ballistic resistance of perforated plates made of different types of steel, mounting and geometry was investigated. Different types of steel in various heat treatment conditions were tested. Target mounting was also varied: rigid, oblique and hanging. Furthermore, four different perforated plate geometries were tested: two plate thicknesses and two hole diameters. Their behaviour was tested using impact from firing 12.7 mm M-8 API ammunition at eleven perforated plate samples. These samples were placed by means of a steel frame over a 13 mm RHA plate, at two distances. Damaged area on targets was correlated to ballistic resistance of the whole armour to find the optimal perforated plate. It was found that perforated plates, in optimized case offer a frequent fracture of the penetrating core in up to five parts. This debris is unable to penetrate the basic plate, offering mass effectiveness of the whole armour model of 1.76 and the mass effectiveness of the perforated... plate of 5.91.
