Multi hit capability: Multi hit capability: This capability has become increasingly important on the modern battle-field. LIBA pellets outperform them all! The LIBA can stop multiple hits from 7.62 AP rounds even when the distance between hits is only few millimeters!
Shown below is LIBA body armor insert that displays the multi hit capability;
Shown in the picture below are typical impact areas on LIBA armor panels shot at with 0.30 cal M2AP rounds and 14.5 AP rounds;
Shown below is a test result which illustrates the multi hit on 25*30 cm panel;
Light Weight: The LIBA pellet solution provides maximum protection at minimum weight. LIBA offers solutions previously considered unattainable in personal armor vests, vehicular armor and aeronautic armor protection.
Anti-vandalism: Liba is guaranteed for five years (front face) against vandalism. The Liba is virtually indestructible in storage and handling, so much so that the system carries a 5-year
guarantee against front-face breakage. It simply will not
break, even when driven over by a tracked vehicle! The LIBA panel has an almost infinite shelf life, and is always ready as an add-on or a stand alone armor solution. When we talk about LIBA a picture is worth a thousand words!
Easy armor repair: The LIBA ballistic armor system is strong, resilient, and easy to maintain. Repairs can be done on the Liba pellets under field conditions in any forward echelon repair facility or, in most cases can be repaired by the crew of the vehicle within minutes. After the armor is repaired the LIBA is once again “GOOD TO GO” even if hit again in the same spot!
In testing, done on 17 June 1999, at the world famous TNO Laboratories in Holland, Liba was tested for multi impact, and field repair. A 30 cm x 30 cm panel was shot 10 times with 7.62 x 51 AP with no penetration. The panel, in order to demonstrate the edge effect, was also shot at as close as 25mm from the edge of the panel.
Field repairs were made and the repaired panel was shot at again, in exactly the same place. TNO report: “Shot number 2 was replaced with a new pellet. After this repair (5 minutes) the same point of impact was hit again.” “The second time the panel also stopped the bullet”!
Using the LIBA system, the tank or APC crew can make repairs in the field, utilizing simple tools like a trowel, a hammer and a box cutting knife. Within minutes the vehicle will be rolling again, “GOOD TO GO” and fully protected.
The surprising simplicity of field repair means that, after only one hour of instruction, the crews can do their own
repairs without bringing the vehicle back to a field maintenance center. No special technical skills are needed!!
MOFET ETZION stands ready to conduct a one day training work-shop upon request.This is why the LIBA is rapidly becoming the first choice of field commanders throughout the world, helping them to lead
the way…with LIBA!
Test of 7.52mm AP, M61, 150gr. and 5.56mm ball, M855

Note that after shot no. 9 the pellet was replaced. It was shot at again (#15) without loss of ballistic performance
